Supplementary gene annotation tables for the boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis) reference genome, derived from the study 'Pangenomics Links Boll Weevil Divergence with Ancient Mesoamerican Cotton Cultivation'. The data includes gene ontology terms and coordinates from selectively swept regions and structural variations between two subspecies, identified using RAiSD and PCAdapt programs. The dataset is provided by the Department of Agriculture and was last updated in March 2026.
Use Cases
- Associate gene function with subspecies biology based on gene ontology terms and enrichment tests.
- Analyze selective sweeps and structural variations in pest genomes based on gene lists from RAiSD and PCAdapt.
- Investigate genetic adaptation and trait plasticity in agricultural pests based on gene annotations from swept regions.
- Support pangenomic studies of insect divergence based on shared/unique gene tables organized by sequence identity.
Strengths
- Data is derived from a reference genome and analysis with two established selective sweep detection programs (RAiSD and PCAdapt).
- Gene tables are organized by shared/unique genes per subspecies and by structural variations, based on >80% sequence identity.
- Dataset is provided under a permissive CC0-1.0 license for broad reuse.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and dataset size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
