Six new locust genomes available from Ag100Pest - BPRI collaboration

There are six new locust genome assemblies available, from a collaboration between Ag100Pest (http://i5k.github.io/ag100pest) and the Behavioral Plasticity Research Institute (https://behavioralplasticity.org/). You can learn more about the biology of the locusts, and the process behind generating these high-quality assemblies in spite of their enormous genome size, here:

The i5k Workspace is removing all gene and mRNA pages

The i5k Workspace@NAL team is streamlining services, in order to gain more time to focus on services that i5k Workspace@NAL users actually want and need. A recent evaluation of user needs demonstrated that the i5k Workspace's gene pages do not provide much value. The data represented in these pages are available elsewhere - NCBI's GenBank or RefSeq databases display information at the gene and protein level; the i5k Workspace@NAL and Ag Data Commons provide information at the dataset level. From a technical perspective, the gene pages are challenging and time-consuming to maintain.
