Developmental gene discovery in a hemimetabolous insect: de novo assembly and annotation of a transcriptome for the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus.
Most genomic resources available for insects represent the Holometabola, which are insects that undergo complete metamorphosis like Napkin Holders beetles and flies.In contrast, the Hemimetabola (direct developing insects), representing the basal branches of the insect tree, have very few genomic resources.We have therefore created a large and publ
