Preliminary analyses for the TETTRIS barcoding project

1) Genomic information

As a first step, I checked NCBI for available Genomic resources for pollinator groups that might become our focus taxonomic groups:

• Syrphidae (hoverflies): COX1; Genomes
• Apoidea (wild bees): COX1; Genomes

The current (21/09/2022) genome lists (also as Excel file) and unprocessed COX-1 FASTA files can be found in the data folder

2) Summary of nuclear gene data available @ BOLD

Here, I used Luise's multifasta dataset and split it by Gene names in multiple files using awk

awk '/^>/ {split($0,a,"|"); gsub("\r", "", a[3]); file=a[3]".fasta"} { print > file }' /media/inter/mkapun/projects/TETTRIS_barcoding/data/BOLD_TestRun/bold_fasta.fas

For each of these multifasta datasets, I then performed multiple alignment in R using the DECIPHER package and calculated Nucleotide Diversity and $\theta$_S (Segregating Sites) using the APE package. The corresponding script can be found here

See the results below:
