Data from: Evolution of life history and dispersal traits during the range expansion of a biological control agent

This data was collected as part of a study on how *Diorhabda carinulata*, the biological control agent for the invasive weed tamarisk or saltcedar, has evolved during its rapid and recent range expansion.

Data from: Response to selection for parasitism of a sub-optimal, low-preference host in an aphid parasitoid

Data are presented on the response to selection and genetic architecture of parasitism of a sub-optimal, low-preference host species by an aphid parasitoid, Aphelinus rhamni, a candidate for introduction against the soybean aphid, *Aphis glycines*.

Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II

This code is implements the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) in the R statistical programming language. The function is theoretically applicable to any number of objectives without modification. The function automatically detects the number of objectives from the population matrix used in the function call. NSGA-II has been applied in ARS research for automatic calibration of hydrolgic models (whittaker link) and economic optimization (whittaker link).

Oncopeltus fasciatus hybrid genome assembly 1.0

The milkweed bug, *Oncopeltus fasciatus*, was sequenced as part of the i5k pilot project from Baylor College of Medicine (Illumina data). To augment those resources, we present here a hybrid genome assembly with low coverage PacBio data, assembled with PBJelly: the *Oncopeltus fasciatus* Hybrid Genome Assembly v1.0.

Data from: Wild emmer genome architecture and diversity elucidate wheat evolution and domestication

A polyploid wheat genome assembly elucidates wheat domestication history. A 10.1-gigabase assembly of the 14 chromosomes of wild tetraploid wheat is reported, as well as analyses of gene content, genome architecture, and genetic diversity.

National Land Cover Database 2011 (NLCD 2011)

National Land Cover Database 2011 (NLCD 2011) is the most recent national land cover product created by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium, providing the capability to assess national land cover changes and trends across the United States from 2001 to 2011 at a spatial resolution of 30 meters, based primarily on a decision-tree classification of circa 2011 Landsat satellite data.

Genes of viral origin in the Microplitis demolitor genome

*Microplitis demolitor* (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a parasitoid used as a biological control agent to control larval-stage Lepidoptera and serves as a model for studying the function and evolution of symbiotic viruses in the genus Bracovirus. Using RNA-Seq data for this species and manual annotation of genes of viral origin, we annotated a high-quality gene set including 171 virus-derived protein-coding genes.

BAR- The Bio-Analytic Resource for Plant Biology

BAR is a collection of web-based, user-friendly tools for exploring, visualizing, and analyzing large datasets from plants. Supported are expression data, Next-Gen sequence data, protein-protein interactions, polymorphisms / conservation, and protein 3-D structures.

Panzea

Panzea is an NSF-funded project called "Biology of Rare Alleles in Maize and its Wild Relatives". We are investigating the connection between phenotype (what we see) and genotype (the genes underlying the phenotype) - of complex traits in maize and its wild relative, teosinte, and specifically in how rare genetic variations contribute to overall plant function. These studies will enrich our knowledge of evolution, sustainable agriculture, and genetic diversity and conservation. Over the 10 years of the project, we have trained many new scientists at all levels and generated key resources for the public, teachers, and scientific researchers.
