Abstract

The i5k Workspace@NAL is a genome database tailored toward newly sequenced arthropod genomes and their research communities. With 56 arthropod genomes and counting, the i5k Workspace strives to facilitate public data access, visualization, and community curation across arthropod species. Any researcher with an arthropod genome project who would like to take advantage of the i5k Workspace facilities is encouraged to submit their data. In this chapter, we explain how to use the i5k Workspace@NAL to submit, find, and improve arthropod genomics data.

Keywords: Arthropods; Community annotation; Database; Genome portal; Genomics; Insects; i5k.
