Sorghum bicolor Transcriptome or Gene expression. Sorghum bicolor

Here we sequenced the sorghum transcriptome using Pacific Biosciences single molecule real time long-read isoform sequencing (Iso-Seq) to identify full-length splice isoforms and alternative polyadenylation (APA) sites. Analysis of these data revealed transcriptome-wide full-length isoforms aan unprecedented scale with over 8000 novel splice isoforms, first for any plant system. In addition, these data uncovered APA of about 5000 expressed genes, and >1400 novel genes that were not previously annotated. These results complement available sorghum genome in refining its transcriptome and study gene regulation in this important bioenergy crop.
