The Genome of the Yellow Mealworm, <i>Tenebrio molitor</i>: It’s Bigger Than You Think

The Genome of the Yellow Mealworm, <i>Tenebrio molitor</i>: It’s Bigger Than You Think

Background: Insects are a sustainable source of protein for human food and animal feed. We present a genome assembly, CRISPR gene editing, and life stage-specific transcriptomes for the yellow mealworm, <i>Tenebrio molitor</i>, one of the most intensively farmed insects worldwide. Method...
