title: 5. Ecological genomics of the Northern krill: Gene family evolution and homology

description: This item contains analyses of gene homology between the Northern krill and nine other crustacean or krill species. The datasets span sequence files, orthology assessments and statistics about gene family evolution, divergence and molecular evolution. The species are associated with the following labels for file names and sequence headers:mnor = <i>Meganyctiphanes norvegica</i> (Northern krill)cqua = <i>Cherax quadricarinatus</i> (Australian red claw crayfish)dmag = <i>Daphnia magna</i> (water flea)eaff = <i>Eurytemora affinis</i> (copepod)hame = <i>Homarus americanus </i>(American lobster)hazt = <i>Hyalella azteca</i> (amphipod)phaw = <i>Parhyale hawaiensis</i> (amphipod)pmon = <i>Penaeus monodon</i> (Black tiger shrimp)pvan = <i>Penaeus vannamei</i> (Whiteleg shrimp)pvir = <i>Procambarus virginalis</i> (Marbled crayfish)<b>Contents:</b><b>crustacean_homologs.non_redundant_datasets.tar.gz</b>, contains an archive with peptide sequences for ten crustacean species, including those derived from the gene models in the Northern krill genome assembly.<b>crustacean_homologs.proteinortho_orthologs.tsv</b>, results of the orthology inference among the peptide sequences using Proteinortho (standard Proteinortho format in TSV format).
