Gene model for the ortholog of <i>Ilp4</i> in <i>Drosophila simulans</i>
Gene Model for <i>Insulin-like peptide 4</i> (<i>Ilp4</i>) in the <i>D. simulans</i> DsimGB2 assembly (GCA_000754195.3). The characterization of this ortholog was carried out as part of a larger, ongoing dataset designed to explore the evolution of the insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling (IIS) pathway across the genus <i>Drosophila</i>, utilizing the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol within Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
