TLDR
An international effort to guide arthropod genomic efforts, from species prioritization to methodology and informatics is described, which aims to deliver sequences and analytical tools for each of theArthropod branches andEach of the species having beneficial and negative effects on humankind.Abstract:
Insects and their arthropod relatives including mites, spiders, and crustaceans play major roles in the world's terrestrial, aquatic, and marine ecosystems Arthropods compete with humans for food and transmit devastating diseases They also comprise the most diverse and successful branch of metazoan evolution, with millions of extant species Here, we describe an international effort to guide arthropod genomic efforts, from species prioritization to methodology and informatics The 5000 arthropod genomes initiative (i5K) community met formally in 2012 to discuss a roadmap for sequencing and analyzing 5000 high-priority arthropods and is continuing this effort via pilot projects, the development of standard operating procedures, and training of students and career scientists, With university, governmental, and industry support, the i5K Consortium aspires to deliver sequences and analytical tools for each of the arthropod branches and each of the species having beneficial and negative effects on humankindread more

TL;DR: A novel facet of the facultative nutritional mutualism engaged between Drosophila and its commensal bacteria is uncovered, which allows the juvenile host to better cope with changes in nutrients availability during the critical phase of post-natal growth; hence ensuring optimal host fitness.

Olfactory genomics within the Lepidoptera
TL;DR: The pheromone receptors in Lepidoptera were not yet functionally characterized at the time of the first edition of this book in 2003 as discussed by the authors, however, with accumulated knowledge of their sequences and function, many insights have been gained.

Cloning and functional characterizations of an apoptogenic Hid gene in the Scuttle Fly, Megaselia scalaris (Diptera; Phoridae).
TL;DR: Cloned a proapoptotic gene homologous to Head involution defective (Hid) from the Scuttle fly, Megaselia scalaris, which encodes a 197-amino acid-long polypeptide, which so far is the smallest HID protein, and found 2-fold induction of MsHid expression in UV-irradiated embryos, indicating a possible role forMsHid in UV
