RNA-seq data for 6 tissues (brain, heart, liver, kidney, blood and gonads) from a female and a male Basiliscus vittatus. DNAseq Illumina reads for a female and a male Basiliscus vittatus genomes.

We generated strand-specific RNA-seq libraries (using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library protocol) for 6 tissues (brain, heart, liver, kidney, blood, and gonads) from a female and male of Basiliscus vittatus. RNA quality was assessed using a Fragment Analyzer machine from Advanced Analytical. Each library was sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform. At least 17 million sequencing reads (100-nt, single-end) were produced for each library. Additionally, we generated DNAseq Illumina reads (6X of coverage) for a male and a female genomes of Basiliscus vittatus.
