About us
The Australian Pest Genome Partnership is a open science initiative focused on delivering digital genomic data assets to industry stakeholders, researchers and educators.
Our work focuses on pests and invasive species of importance to Australia and we aim to catalyse community driven collaboration on genomics projects in the same.
About the data
This site hosts genomes and annotations generated by our groups and close collaborators, with specific focus on noctuid moths.

Helicoverpa armigera
Cotton bollworm
The cotton bollworm, corn earworm, or Old World (African) bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) (also known as the scarce bordered straw in the UK, where it is a migrant[2]) is a moth, the larvae of which feed on a wide range of plants, including many important cultivated crops. It is a major pest in cotton and one of the most polyphagous and cosmopolitan pest species. It should not be confused with the similarly named, related species Helicoverpa zea.[Wikipedia]
Helicoverpa punctigera
Australian bollworm
Helicoverpa punctigera, the native budworm, Australian bollwormor Chloridea marmada, is a species of moth in the family Noctuidae. This species is native to Australia. H. punctigera are capable of long distance migration from their inland Australian habitat towards coastal regions and are an occasional migrant to New Zealand.[Wikipedia]
Helicoverpa zea
Corn earworm
Helicoverpa zea, commonly known as the corn earworm, is a species (formerly in the genus Heliothis) in the family Noctuidae. The larva of the moth Helicoverpa zea is a major agricultural pest. Since it is polyphagous (feeds on many different plants) during the larval stage, the species has been given many different common names, including the cotton bollworm and the tomato fruitworm. It also consumes a wide variety of other crops.[Wikipedia]
