Abstract:
Gene Model for the Insulin-like peptide 4 (Ilp4) ortholog in the D. grimshawi (dgriCAF1) assembly (GeneBank Accession: GCA_000005155.1) of Drosophila grimshawi. The characterization of this ortholog was conducted as part of a broader, developing dataset aimed at investigating the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) pathway across the genus Drosophila, using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol within Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
