Ipomoea batatas cultivar:Tainung 57 Assembly. Ipomoea batatas cultivar:Tainung 57

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L. Tainung 57) is one of the most important economic food crops with high resistance against stress. Due to the lack of reference genome, de novo transcriptome assembly is required. To create a reference sequence database, total RNAs were isolated from mature sweet potato leaves. The Illumina TruSeq RNA Sample Prep v2 LS Protocol was performed to prepare the sweet potato transcriptome library from total RNA. To sequence the transcriptome library, the Illumina MiSeq platform and the 250 bp Paired-End Reads MISEQ REAGENT KIT V2 were used, and totally 21,649,749 paired end RNA-Seq raw reads were obtained. RNA-Seq de novo assembly was performed by using the Trinity platform. Overall, we found 76,321 trinity transcripts in sweet potato.
