Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Tartary buckwheat Transcriptomes

We generated 61.9 Gb of high-quality sequencing data (~6.59 Gb per sample) and catalogued the expression profiles of 9,765 annotated Tartary buckwheat genes in each sample. The analysis showed differences of transcriptomes during the development of buckwheat. We identified numerous differentially expressed genes that exhibited distinct expression patterns. These genes have known or potential roles in development of buckwheat. Therefore, we are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms. Overall design: buckwheat mRNA profiles of the development were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using BGISEQ-500.
