This article highlights the workflow used in the five articles focused on crustacean mitochondrial genomics, which involves de novo assembly, annotation, manual curation, and characterization of mitochondrial genomes. These workflows improve the characterization of mitochondrial genomes and contribute to the advancement of our knowledge in non-model crustaceans.
The special section on crustacean mitochondrial genomics houses five articles focused on the characterization of mitochondrial genomes in different decapod crustaceans. In this introductory article, I highlight details and peculiarities of the workflow used in these articles with which mitochondrial genomes were de novo assembled, annotated, manually curated, and characterized. The workflows used in these studies improves the characterization of mitochondrial genomes and are expected to democratize and advance our knowledge on mitochondrial genomics in non-model crustaceans, while profiting from user-friendly and open access bioinformatics tools.
