De novo assembled transcriptomes for four Notothenioid species (Antarctic icefish)

We sequenced and assembled the coding transcriptomes in four species of Notothenioid fish: Neopagetopsis ionah (Jonah’s ice fish), Pseudochaenichtys georgianus (South Georgia icefish), Harpagifer antarcticus (Antarctic spiny plunderfish) and Parachaenichthys charcoti (Charcot’s dragonfish). We sampled 1-4 individuals and 1-14 tissues (brain, white muscle, liver, head kidney, trunk kidney, skin, heart, red muscle, spleen, ovary, testis, whole blood, gill, red blood cells) in each species, depending on tissue availability. Transcriptomes were assembled de novo using Trinity with default parameters on pooled paired-end mRNA-seq reads from all individuals and tissues available for each species. Raw read files are available from ArrayExpress (accession number E-MTAB-6759).
