# Gene model for the ortholog of eIF4E1 in Drosophila ananassae

## TL;DR

This paper presents a gene model for the eIF4E1 ortholog in Drosophila ananassae as part of a study on the evolution of the IIS pathway.

## Contribution

The paper contributes a new gene model for eIF4E1 in Drosophila ananassae using a standardized annotation protocol.

## Key findings

- The eIF4E1 ortholog was identified in the Drosophila ananassae genome assembly.
- The gene model is part of a dataset for studying the evolution of the IIS pathway in Drosophila.

## Abstract

Gene model for the ortholog of eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E1
(

eIF4E1

) in the May 2011 (Agencourt dana_caf1/DanaCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession:
GCA_000005115.1
) of
Drosophila ananassae
. This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus
Drosophila
using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
