Advancing Insect Genomics Through the Ag100Pest and i5K Initiatives On-Demand Presentations

The Ag100Pest Initiative and the i5K initiatives

On-Demand
On-Demand
The Ag100Pest Initiative was undertaken by a group of us at the USDA’s Agricultural Research Service with the goal of sequencing and annotating the 100 top agricultural pest arthropod genomes as a contribution to the international i5K effort to sequence the genomes of 5,000 arthropods and in support of the Earth BioGenome Project. Updates on the Ag100Pest initiative will be presented here as well as an overview of emeging seqeuncing technologies for de novo assembly and analysis of arthropod genoms.
