Type of data	Table with html sites for access to insect genomes
Phylogenetic matrices in Nexus format
Phylogeentic trees in Newick format
Lists of FlyBase accessions for functional annotation of genes that are part of CORE genomes and UNIQUE genes
Graphs of consistency index (CI) versus number unnannotated genes
How data was acquired	Raw data acquired from html download
Phylogenetic matrices obtained by single linkage clustering approach
Functional Annotation acquired from websites listed below
Graphs obtained from phylogenetic analysis
Data format	Nexus files; excel spreadsheets; Newick formatted tree files
Experimental factors	Not applicable
Experimental features	Twenty-one whole insect genomes were filtered using a single linkage clustering approach to generate presence absence matrices for phylogenetic analysis. Lists of gene gains and losses were obtained for specified nodes in the phylogenetic tree using phylogenetic reconstruction approaches. These gene lists were then characterized for functional significance using the websites listed below.
