# Gene model for the ortholog of mts in Drosophila mojavensis

## TL;DR

This paper describes the gene model for an ortholog of the mts gene in Drosophila mojavensis, part of a study on the evolution of a signaling pathway.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new gene model for the mts ortholog in Drosophila mojavensis for evolutionary studies.

## Key findings

- A gene model for the mts ortholog in Drosophila mojavensis was characterized.
- The model is part of a dataset for studying the evolution of the IIS pathway in Drosophila.

## Abstract

Gene model for the ortholog of
microtubule star
(

mts

) in the
D. mojavensis
May 2011 (Agencourt dmoj_caf1/DmojCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession:
GCA_000005175.1
) of

Drosophila mojavensis

. 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
