# InsectBase 3.0: A Comprehensive Multi-omics Resource for Insects
[InsectBase](https://www.insect-genome.com/) is a specialized bioinformatics database providing extensive genomic and multi-omic resources for the insect research community. This repository hosts the high-throughput genomic sequences and predicted protein structures associated with the **InsectBase 3.0** update.
## Dataset Description
- **Homepage:** [https://www.insect-genome.com/](https://www.insect-genome.com/)
- **Paper:** [Nucleic Acids Research (2025)](https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkaf1248)
- **Repository Contents:**
- `InsectBase_Genome/`: Large-scale insect genomic sequences (FASTA format).
- `InsectBase_Protein_Structure/`: High-confidence protein structures predicted via AlphaFold 3.

## 1. InsectBase_Genome
This subset contains the comprehensive insect genome assembly files in FASTA format.
### File Reconstruction
Due to the massive size of the genomic data (~400GB), the archive has been split into multiple chunks (7-10 parts) to ensure stable downloading. To reconstruct the original file, please use the following commands in your terminal:
```bash
# Navigate to the download folder
cd InsectBase_Genome
# Merge the split parts back into a single tar.gz file
cat InsectBase_genome.tar.gz.part* > InsectBase_genome.tar.gz
# Extract the FASTA files
tar -zxvf InsectBase_genome.tar.gz
# (Optional) Verify integrity if sha256.txt is provided
sha256sum -c sha256.txt
```

## 2. InsectBase_Protein_Structure
This subset provides structural data for **29 specific gene families**. These structures were generated using **AlphaFold 3**, providing state-of-the-art accuracy for protein-insect physiological research and evolutionary analysis.
- **Format:** `.pdb` or `.mmCIF` (compressed within family-specific archives).
- **Scope:** Covers major gene families critical to insect development, immunity, and metabolic processes.
