Table 2. Contig metrics from the de novo assembly based on transcriptome data pooled from three different Teleogryllus oceanicus tissues.

Metric	Number (>500 bp)	Total Number
Contig number	12,332	41,965
Average contig size	894	459
Median contig size	727	373
Median read depth	73	2.4
Mean read depth	176	9
Largest contig	10,718

Read depth was skewed toward very small numbers, with only 1424 sequences mapped by >30 reads.
