Abstract
Gene model for the ortholog of Akt kinase (Akt) in the April 2013 (BCM-HGSC/Dele_2.0) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000224195.2) of Drosophila elegans. This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus Drosophila using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
