Ulkenia visurgensis Lng2 de novo transcriptome assembly and functional annotation

De novo assembled transcriptome of the Chilean thraustochytrid strain Ulkenia visurgensis Lng2. The transcriptome was assembled using sequencing data obtained with a NovaSeq 6000 System (Illumina, Inc.) with 150 bp paired end reads (2x150) length and 20 million reads. Raw reads corresponding to nine sequenced RNA samples, were cleaned to remove low-quality sequences and adapter contaminants using Trimmomatic version 0.39. Bases were cut off at the end or start of a read (trailing and leading, respectively), if below a threshold quality of 3. The cleaned reads were assembled into a full transcriptome using the Trinity assembler version 2.15.1. A Compendium of python codes and intermediary files in the de novo transcriptome assembly and a functional annotation for this are also provided. The functional annotation comprises a GO, KEGG and Homology-based annotations.
