Data from "The genome of the water strider Gerris buenoi reveals expansions of gene repertoires associated with adaptations to life on the water"
WSU Dataset

UID: 84

Author(s): Markus Friedrich

Description
This study reports the sequencing and manual annotation of the Gerris buenoi (G. buenoi) genome; the first water strider genome to be sequenced thus far. The size of the G. buenoi genome is approximately 1,000 Mb, and this sequencing effort has recovered 20,949 predicted protein-coding genes. Manual annotation uncovered a number of local (tandem and proximal) gene duplications and expansions of gene families known for their importance in a variety of processes associated with morphological and physiological adaptations to a water surface lifestyle.
