# Gene model for the ortholog of Ilp3 in Drosophila ananassae

## TL;DR

This paper describes a gene model for the Ilp3 ortholog in Drosophila ananassae, part of a study on the evolution of insulin signaling in fruit flies.

## Contribution

The paper provides a new gene model for Ilp3 in Drosophila ananassae, contributing to the study of insulin signaling evolution.

## Key findings

- The Ilp3 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
Insulin-like peptide 3
(

Ilp3

) 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
