Illumina RNA-seq results of Eustigmatos cf. polyphem

Understanding the transcriptome profile is essential for studying the complexity of metabolic pathways and its impact on phenotype. Using Illumina paired-end sequencing technology, we present the transcriptome annotation of a non-model oleaginous microalga, Eustigmatos cf. polyphem, that has potential for production of biofuels and valuable co-products. The substantial amount of transcripts obtained provides a strong basis for future genomic research on oleaginous microalgae and supports in-depth genome annotation.

解析转录组谱对于研究代谢通路的复杂性及其对表型的影响至关重要。本研究采用Illumina双端测序（paired-end sequencing）技术，对一株具备生物燃料及高附加值副产物生产潜力的非模式产油微藻——拟多形真星藻（Eustigmatos cf. polyphem）——完成了转录组注释。本研究获取的大量转录本数据，为后续产油微藻的基因组学研究提供了坚实基础，同时也可为深入的基因组注释工作提供有力支撑。
