+ # InsectBase 3.0: A Comprehensive Multi-omics Resource for Insects
22
+
23
+ [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.
24
+
25
+ ## Dataset Description
26
+
27
+ - **Homepage:** [https://www.insect-genome.com/](https://www.insect-genome.com/)
28
+ - **Paper:** [Nucleic Acids Research (2025)](https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkaf1248)
29
+ - **Repository Contents:**
30
+ - `InsectBase_Genome/`: Large-scale insect genomic sequences (FASTA format).
31
+ - `InsectBase_Protein_Structure/`: High-confidence protein structures predicted via AlphaFold 3.

35
+ ## 1. InsectBase_Genome
36
+ This subset contains the comprehensive insect genome assembly files in FASTA format.
37
+
38
+ ### File Reconstruction
39
+ 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:
40
+
41
+ ```bash
42
+ # Navigate to the download folder
43
+ cd InsectBase_Genome
44
+
45
+ # Merge the split parts back into a single tar.gz file
46
+ cat InsectBase_genome.tar.gz.part* > InsectBase_genome.tar.gz
47
+
48
+ # Extract the FASTA files
49
+ tar -zxvf InsectBase_genome.tar.gz
50
+
51
+ # (Optional) Verify integrity if sha256.txt is provided
52
+ sha256sum -c sha256.txt
53
+ ```

57
+ ## 2. InsectBase_Protein_Structure
58
+ 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.
59
+
60
+ - **Format:** `.pdb` or `.mmCIF` (compressed within family-specific archives).
61
+ - **Scope:** Covers major gene families critical to insect development, immunity, and metabolic processes.
