Table 1 TransRate assembly metrics and BUSCO completeness assessment for Gomphocerus sibiricus (this study) in comparison to the other two Acridid transcriptomes published (Stenobothrus lineatus, [13], Chorthippus biguttulus, [34]). Higher TransRate assembly scores indicate better quality assemblies. BUSCO completeness assessment was conducted using the insect ortholog database (orthoDB9)

From: Transcriptome assembly for a colour-polymorphic grasshopper (Gomphocerus sibiricus) with a very large genome size
