Expression profiling of ramie genes

To aid the annotation of the genome of cultivated (ZSZ1) and wild (QYZM) ramie and characterize the expression profiling, the root, stem and leaves from these two varieties were performed for transcriptome sequencing. Our results generated 20,693 and 19,498 predicted genes from QYZM and ZSZ1 genome. of them, 17,983 QYZM genes and 17,998 ZSZ1 expressed in at least one of these three examined tissues. Overall design: RNA-seq for three tissues (i.e., roots, stems, and leaves) in two varieties whose genome was de novo assembled.
