Genespace and Orthofinder Results for Coleoptera Chromosome Evolution

Dwayne Tally's dataset contains reduced comparative genomics outputs for analyzing chromosome evolution in Coleoptera. The 168.2 MB collection includes GENESPACE synteny outputs, OrthoFinder orthogroup assignments, and gene subset datasets for ancestral X-linked and neo-X-linked gene analyses. It was last updated on May 12, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing synteny and gene order conservation based on GENESPACE riparian phased block files.
• Identifying orthologous gene groups across species based on OrthoFinder assignments.
• Investigating the evolution of sex chromosomes based on gene subset datasets for X-linked and inferred neo-X-linked genes.

Strengths

• Dataset size is 168.2 MB, indicating a substantial amount of processed genomic data.
• Includes outputs from established bioinformatics tools (GENESPACE and OrthoFinder).
• Focuses on a specific taxonomic group (Coleoptera) for comparative analysis.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect source bias inherent to the original genomic studies uploaded to figshare.
