Summary
Type
organism
Genus
Orussus
Species
abietinus
Common Name
Parasitic Wood Wasp
Description
Representative of the wasp (Hymenoptera) family Orussidae: the parasitic wood wasp Orussus abietinus parasitizes wood-boring beetle larvae and exhibits numerous remarkable characteristics, such as an ovipositor that internally loops through the abdomen and thorax and eggs longer than the body size of the adult female. What makes parasitic wood wasps even more interesting, however, is the fact that they are the only lineage of parasitic wasps that primarily do not possess a wasp waist. In fact, orussids are thought to be the sister lineage of the tremendously successful and species rich Apocrita. The latter include all primarily parasitic wasps with wasp waist and all ants and bees. Orussids are critical for understanding the evolution of a parasitoid life history and the associated adaptations at the genomic level.

Genome update. Previously, the i5k Workspace@NAL hosted Whole genome assembly of Orussus abietinus, Orussus abietinus annotations OGSv1.0, and Functional annotation of Orussus abietinus oruabi OGS v1.0. The assembly and annotations have updated to the most recent assembly, Orussus abietinus genome assembly Oabi_2.0 (GCF_000612105.2) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_000612105.2/(link is external)), NCBI Orussus abietinus Annotation Release 101 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/Orussus_abietinus/101/(link is external)), and Functional annotation of NCBI Orussus abietinus Annotation Release 101 (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/data/Arthropoda/oruabi-%28Orussus_abietinus%29/Oabi_2.0/3.Additional%20Gene%20Sets%20and%20Annotation%20Projects/).
