“…Additional species of interest not present in the database (Hermetia illucens, BioProject: PRJEB37575; Tenebrio molitor, BioProject: PRJNA820846; Manduca sexta, BioProject: PRJNA658700; Penaeus vannamei, BioProject: PRJNA438564; Acheta domesticus, BioProject: PRJNA706033; Bombyx mandarina, BioProject: PRJDB13954; Generalovic et al 2021, Kaur et al 2023, Gershman et al 2021, Zhang et al 2019, Dossey et al 2022, Xiang et al 2018 were manually added to our list by functionally annotating available protein sequences using eggnog-mapper, which uses the eggnog5.0 database to identify orthologous gene families. Aceta domesticus did not have publicly available protein sequences, thus we structurally annotated it using Helixer v0.3.1 (Stiehler et al 2020;Holst et al 2023) before functional annotation.…”
