Tetrastichus brontispae Transcriptome or Gene expression

The transcriptome of Tetrastichus brontispae from two host (Brontispa longissima and Octodonta nipae), desgined as Tb-Bl and Tb-On, respectively, were analyzed throughIllumina sequencing. RNA-Seq deep sequencing analysis generated approximately 22.7 and 20.3 million paired-end reads from the Tb-On and Tb-Bl libraries, respectively.De novo assembly generated the pool of all reads from the two libraries yielded 23,054 unigenes with an N50 length and an average size of 1791 and 1030 bp, respectively, including 7791 unigenes (33.79%) over 1000 bp in length. Of these genes, more than 60% (14,592) of unigenes had significant similarity in the NR, Swiss-Prot, KEGG and COG databases with a cut-off E-value of 1e -5.
