Agassiz''s desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) transcriptomes

Agassiz’s desert tortoise (Gopherus agassizii) is a long-lived species native to the Mojave Desert. To aid conservation efforts for preserving the genetic diversity of this species, we generated transcriptomes from adult skeletal muscle, lung, brain, and blood used for genome annotation.

阿加西氏沙漠陆龟（Agassiz’s desert tortoise，Gopherus agassizii）是原产于莫哈韦沙漠的长寿物种。为保护该物种的遗传多样性以助力其保育工作，我们从成年个体的骨骼肌、肺、脑及血液中构建了用于该物种基因组注释的转录组。
