2023 journal article

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

GENES, 14(12).

By: B. Oppert *, A. Dossey *, F. Chu*, E. Satovic-Vuksic, M. Plohl *, T. Smith *, S. Koren *, M. Olmstead*  ...

author keywords: CRISPR Cas9 gene editing; insects as food and feed; insect genomics and genetics; stored product insect; Tenebrio molitor; yellow mealworm
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Utilization and Effects; Animal and Plant Science Education; Insect and Arachnid Ecology and Behavior
TL;DR: The genome of T. molitor is longer than current assemblies due to a substantial amount of only one highly abundant satellite DNA sequence, which will promote the sustainable utilization of mealworms and other farmed insects. (via Semantic Scholar)
