Approches of Insect Genomics

Dipali B. Borkar, Vishal L. Bagde

Abstract :

Insects are the most successful group from all metazoans on earth, has important societal, as well as scientific benefits. They occupy a wide range of roles, which have an effect on human life either because the former pose serious threats to public health and commercial crops as well as in some cases represent the only way to propagate food resources. Despite their tremendous importance, insect genomics remained an uneven territory dominated by studies. The application of genomic technologies in insecticide resistance has greatly expanded on insects to evolve insecticide resistance. In so far as many detoxification genes occur in tightly linked clusters. These selective sweeps on the genetic variation available to these species to respond to future insecticide or other xenobiotic challenges. In sequencing of insect genome showcases the genetic eadth of insects and a trend towards sequencing organisms directly involved with human welfare. We describe traits in other insect species that make them important candidates for genomics projects, and review several recent workshops aimed at uniting researchers working with insect species to efficiently address problems in agriculture medicine and biotechnology. Recent advances in biotechnology have led to the development and evolution in the field of bioinformatics for the analysis and integration of information from genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, metabolomic and phenomic data. Availability of whole genome sequences, expressed sequence tags, genetic linkage maps and insect transgenesis has opened up new vistas for fundamental research in entomology
