Schistocerca serialis cubense (Grasshoppers, TAMUIC-IGC-003099) Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Schistocerca serialis cubense

Schistocerca [1] is a genus of grasshoppers, commonly called bird grasshoppers, many of which swarm as locusts. The best known species is probably the desert locust (S. gregaria) and trans-Atlantic flight may explain the biogeography of some locust species.[2]. S. serialis was first described in 1815 [3].
