Analysis of Proteins in Diaphorina citri psyllid Genome

Oops, failed to load picture

Welcome to our database of analysis of proteins in Diaphorina citri psyllid Genome. The Asian Citrus psyllid is a small insect that resides resides in the phloem tissue of citrus plants. The insect is extremely dangerous because it can transmit a citrus greening disease. Psyllid is the vector of the Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLa), the pathogen of Citrus Greening. Infected plants gradually develop symptoms such as yellow leaves, premature defoliation and aborted fruits, followed by the eventual death of the entire plants

Effort of International Psyllid Genome Consortium (Psyllid.org) resulted in the genomic sequence draft and the transcriptome of Asian Citrus Psyllid, allowing us to carry out the Computational studies aimed at identifying potential compounds and drug leads to reduce psyllid population and understanding the mechanism enabling CLa to evade the psyllid immune system.

We are using the genomic sequence draft Diaci1.1 downloaded from Psyllid Genome Consortium. This assembly contains 18,746 scaffolds with length greater than 1000 bp. The N50 statistic is 38k. The predicted gene models correspond to 18,242 protein sequences. We are comprehensively analyzing the proteins in this Diaphorina citri psyllid Genome Assembly. We summarize the annotation results of all proteins to faciliate the browing of the whole genome. Search by name or keywords is also supported. In addition, we grouped the Psyllid proteins according to GO categorization and Clusters of Orthologous Groups (COG) classification. As analysis proceeds, these pages will be updated. We hope these results and summaries will be helpful for your research.
