Margarodidae
TaxID: 83869
Basic Information
Margarodidae
Cottony Cushion Scales, giant scales
The Margarodidae (illegitimately as Margodidae) or ground pearls are a family of scale insects within the superfamily Coccoidea. Members of the family include the Polish cochineal and Armenian cochineal (genus Porphyrophora) and the original ground pearl genus, Margarodes. Beginning in 1880, a number of distinct subfamilies were recognized, with the giant coccids (the Monophlebidae) being the first. Although Maskell proposed a new family, many continued to regard the monophlebids as a mere subfamily for many years, and the Margarodidae classification continued to be polyphyletic through the 20th Century. Since then, taking the advice of Koteja several subfamilies and tribes have been elevated into their own families such as Matsucoccidae and Xylococcidae. The pared-down family of Margarodidae (Margarodidae sensu stricto or Margarodidae s. s.) is monophyletic.

PRJNA295745 SRX1277818 SRP064048 insect Transcriptome of Margarodes sp. KJ-2015 "Construction of libraries and sequencing on the Illumina HiSeq2500 were performed at the W. M. Keck Center for Comparative and Functional Genomics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Messenger RNA was selected from one microgram of high quality total RNA. RNAseq libraries were constructed using the TruSeq Stranded RNA Sample Preparation Kit (Illumina, San Diego, CA). Libraries were sequenced on an Illumina HiSeq2500 with TruSeq SBS sequencing kits version 4. The libraries were sequenced from both ends of the molecules to a total read length of 100nt from each end. The raw .bcl files were converted into demultiplexed fastq files with Casava 1.8.2 (Illumina)." {'breed': 'wildtype', 'tissue': 'whole insect', 'collected_by': 'Callie Freeman', 'geo_loc_name': 'USA: NC', 'biosamplemodel': 'Invertebrate', 'collection_date': '2014-06-18', 'isolation_source': 'wild-caught'} |
