Here, we present a large RNA-Seq dataset of Suid alphaherpesvirus, derived from long-read sequencing including PacBio RSII, PacBio Sequel and Oxford Nanopore platforms.

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is an alphaherpesvirus of swine. PRV has a large double-stranded DNA genome and, as the latest investigations have revealed, a very complex transcriptome. Here, we present a large RNA-Seq dataset, derived from long-read sequencing.Pacific Biosciences RSII platform with amplified and non-amplified, Sequel platform with amplified and a Oxford Nanopore's MinION device with direct RNA sequencing, cDNA and CAP selected cDNA sequencing methods were used.
