Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Chenopodium quinoa Transcriptomes

We generated 70.9 Gb of high-quality sequencing data (~7.88 Gb per sample) and catalogued the expression profiles of 54，238 annotated Chenopodium quinoa genes in each sample. These genes have known or potential roles in the roots, stems, and leaves of quinoa. Therefore, we are appealing candidates for further investigation of the gene expression and associated regulatory mechanisms. mRNA profiles of roots, stems and leaves of yellow bitter quinoa were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina HiSeq4000.
