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

RNA interference in the study of gene functions in aphids and other hemipterans and the fight against their harmful representatives
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors discuss the criteria for selecting target genes and the issues of their functional activity solved by RNAi, methods for delivering double-stranded and small RNAs to organisms of various Hemiptera, the non-target effects of RNAi and the ways to prevent them, as well as possible practical outcomes of using this approach to control hemipteran pests of agricultural plants and vectors of dangerous human and animal diseases.
