Cockroach Endosymbiont Loss Events Across Three Families

Supplementary data for a research article on the independent loss of the ancestral endosymbiont Blattabacterium in cockroaches. The 17.9 MB collection includes CSV and XLSX files, authored by Zhuli Cheng and last updated in May 2026. It likely contains genomic or phylogenetic data supporting the finding of ten independent loss events in the Blattellidae, Pseudophyllodromiidae, and Anaplectidae families.

Use Cases

• Phylogenetic analysis based on the described independent loss events.
• Comparative genomics of Blattabacterium across different cockroach families.
• Testing hypotheses on endosymbiont evolution and host dependency.

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a specific, peer-reviewed research article.
• Files are provided in two common, structured formats (CSV, XLSX).
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
