Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of data submission and curation for whole genome sequencing projects, particularly to the NCBI, which is often overlooked due to the complexity and resource requirements of existing tools.
- It introduces the Genome Annotation Generator, a user-friendly software solution designed to help researchers easily create .tbl files for NCBI submission without needing extensive programming knowledge or specialized setups.
- The tool aims to bridge the gap for individual researchers or smaller labs by simplifying the submission process for annotated genome assemblies, making it accessible to a wider audience.
Background: The Braconid wasp Fopius arisanus (Sonan) has been utilized for biological control of the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), and the oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis), both of which are phytophagous fruit fly pests of economic importance in many tropical and subtropical regions of the world. We have sequenced and assembled the transcriptome of this wasp using tissue from four different life stages: larvae, pupae, adult males and adult females, with the aim to contribute foundational resources to aid in the understanding of the biology and behavior of this important parasitoid.
Findings: The transcriptome of the parasitic wasp Fopius arisanus was sequenced and reconstructed using a strategy that identified 15,346 high confidence, non-redundant transcripts derived from 8,307 predicted unigenes.
Background: Bactrocera cucurbitae is a serious global agricultural pest. Basic genomic information is lacking for this species, and this would be useful to inform methods of control, damage mitigation, and eradication efforts. Here, we have sequenced, assembled, and annotated a comprehensive transcriptome for a mass-rearing sexing strain of this species.
