Abstract
Gene model for the ortholog of Phosphoinositide-dependent kinase 1 ( Pdk1 ) in the May 2011 (Agencourt dgri_caf1/DgriCAF1) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000005155.1 ) of Drosophila grimshawi . 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.
