The complete mitochondrial genome of giant cricket, Tarbinskiellus portentosus (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) and its curation.

ABSTRACT: Tarbinskiellus portentosus, commonly known as giant cricket one of the important edible cricket species. However, the genetic information of these species is still limited. Therefore, we have assembled and annotated the first mitochondrial genome of T. portentosus. The mitogenome is 15710 bp long and has GC content of 27.19%. The nucleotide composition is similar with other insect mitogenomes (A 40.6%; T 32.2%; C 17.3%; G 9.9%). The gene organization in the mitogenome of T. portentosus is identical to the mitogenome of other cricket species. The complete mitogenome of T. portentosus consisted 37 genes including 13 protein coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, and two rRNA genes. The newly assembled mitogenome will help molecular biology research on edible crickets. Since
