Project description:Purpose: The goal of this study is to provided a comprehensive genomic information for functional genomic studies in Q. mongolica. Methods:The Quercus mongolica leaves were generated by deep sequencing, using Illumina Hiseq 4000. The high-quality reads were obtained by removing the reads that contained adaptor contamination, low quality bases and undetermined bases.The transcriptome were de novo assembly. Results:A total of 52934562 raw reads were obtained from Illumina sequencing platform. After filtering out the low quality reads, we obtained 52076914 clean reads, which assembled into 39130 transcripts with a mean length of 742 bp and GC content of 42.12%, and 24196 unigenes with a mean length of 732 bp and GC content of 42.34%, based on Trinity assembly platform. Conclusions:RNA-Seq was applied to polyadenylate-enriched mRNAs from leaves of Q. mongolica to obtain the transcriptome. De novo assembly was then applied followed by gene annotation and functional classification. The SSRs and SNPs were also obtained using assembled transcripts as reference sequences. The results of this study lay the foundation for further research on genetic diversity of Quercus.

The high-quality reads were obtained by removing the reads that contained adaptor contamination, low quality bases and undetermined bases.The transcriptome were de novo assembly. Results:A total of 54153182 raw reads were obtained from Illumina sequencing platform, and 53021436 clean reads were generated after filtering out the low quality reads. The clean reads were assembled into 41207 transcripts with median length 704 and GC content 42.17%, and 25593 unigenes with median length 687 and GC content 42.31%, based on Trinity assembly platform Conclusions:RNA-Seq was applied to polyadenylate-enriched mRNAs from leaves of Q. liaotungensis to obtain the transcriptome. De novo assembly was then applied followed by gene annotation and functional classification. The SSRs and SNPs were also obtained using assembled transcripts as reference sequences.
