Artemisia arbuscula strain:CAV-1 Transcriptome or Gene expression

This transcriptome is part of a multispecies comparison of sagebrush. This sample is A. arbuscula. Overall, we sequenced and assembled three transcriptomes of sagebrush from Artemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis, A. tridentata ssp. tridentata and A. arbuscula. We then demonstrated the utility of these transcriptomes by identifying a putative terpene synthase. We also found evidence for three ancient duplication events in the evolutionary history of sagebrush. The sequences of transcriptomes will be a useful resource for future genetic work in the Artemisia genus.
