- The model is part of a dataset to study the evolution of the IIS pathway in Drosophila.

## Abstract

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

Roc1a

) in the
Drosophila ananassae
May 2011 (Agencourt dana_caf1/DanaCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession:
GCA_000005115.1
). 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.
