| Description | Copidosoma floridanum is the best studied insect that undergoes polyembryonic development. Its development is highly novel and has also evolved a caste (social) system by novel mechanism. Particularly unique is this species produces >2000 clonal progeny per egg that are genetically identical. This unique feature of development provides an enormous quantity of DNA for full genome sequencing that derives from a single male (haploid) egg. The technical advantage this provides is unrivaled by any other parasitic hymenopteran. The species is in continuous culture such that material is immediately available. The species is important to agriculture as the wasp is used in biological control. The species is also phylogenitically well placed for comparison to other species like Nasonia and the honeybee. Data were generated by the Baylor College of Medicine's i5k pilot project. View the Baylor College of Medicine's data sharing policy. Genome update. Previously, the i5k Workspace@NAL hosted Whole genome assembly of Copidosoma floridanum, Annotation (v0.5.3) of the Copidosoma floridanum assembly using MAKER (Baylor College of Medicine), and Functional annotation of Annotation (v0.5.3) of the Copidosoma floridanum assembly using MAKER (Baylor College of Medicine). The assembly and annotations have updated to the most recent assembly, Copidosoma floridanum genome assembly Cflo_2.0 (GCF_000648655.2) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/datasets/genome/GCF_000648655.2/), NCBI Copidosoma floridanum Annotation Release 101 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genome/annotation_euk/Copidosoma_floridanum/101/), and Functional annotation of NCBI Copidosoma floridanum Annotation Release 101 (https://i5k.nal.usda.gov/data/Arthropoda/copflo-%28Copidosoma_floridanum%29/Cflo_2.0/2.Official%20or%20Primary%20Gene%20Set/). |
