| Description | The japygid Catajapyx aquilonaris is a blind predator of the soil. Like Protura (Acerentomon maius) and Collembola (Sminthurus viridis), Diplura lack wings, mirroring the wingless insect ancestor. Like in all primarily wingless hexapods, sperms are not transferred directly during copulation. Males rather deposit a spermatophore on the ground and females subsequently take the spermatophore up. Diplura are critical for understanding the evolutionary origin of Hexapoda (e.g., terrestrialization), the evolutionary origin of wings (ancestral condition in Diplura), and the evolution of direct sperm transfer (ancestral condition in Diplura). 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 Catajapyx aquilonaris, BCM annotation of the Catajapyx aquilonaris assembly using Maker and additional analyses and Functional annotation of Catajapyx aquilonaris BCM version 0.5.3. The assembly and annotations have updated to the most recent assembly, Catajapyx aquilonaris genome assembly Caqu_2.0 (GCA_000934665.2), Lifted BCM annotation of the Catajapyx aquilonaris assembly using Maker and additional analyses and Functional Annotation of Lifted BCM annotation of the Catajapyx aquilonaris assembly using Maker and additional analyses. |
