We've updated the Hyalella azteca i5k Workspace resources to the newest genome assembly, Hazt_2.0.1 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/assembly/GCA_000764305.3), and Official Gene Set, OGSv1.2 (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/all/GCA/000/764/305/GCA_000764305.3_Hazt_2.0.1; https://data.nal.usda.gov/dataset/hyalella-azteca-official-gene-set-v12). Now Apollo and BLAST are based on these new data resources. New gene pages for OGSv1.2 are also available.
