After performing de novo assembly on all of our Tanner crab RNAseq data (no taxonomic filter applied, either) on 20200518, I continued the annotation process by running Trinotate.

Trinotate will perform functional annotation of the transcriptome assembly, including GO terms and an annotation feature map that can be used in subsequent Trinity-based differential gene expression analysis so that functional annotations are carried downstream through that process.
