# Gene model for the ortholog of Roc1a in Drosophila persimilis

## TL;DR

This paper presents a gene model for the Roc1a ortholog in Drosophila persimilis as part of a study on the evolution of the IIS pathway.

## Contribution

Provides a new gene model for Roc1a in Drosophila persimilis using a standardized annotation protocol.

## Key findings

- Identified the ortholog of Roc1a in Drosophila persimilis genome assembly.
- Contributed to a dataset for studying IIS pathway evolution in Drosophila.

## Abstract

Gene model for the ortholog of
Regulator of cullins 1a
(

Roc1a

) in the May 2011 (Broad dper_caf1/DperCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession:
GCA_000005195.1
) of
Drosophila persimilis
. 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.
