SMRT sequencing of full-length transcriptome of Portunus pelagicus

This study firstly proposed the full-length transcriptome of <i>P. pelagicus</i> derived from 8 different tissues using the PacBio SMRT sequencing that could be used as a reference in some cases (e.g. genetic evolution study, physiological mechanism analysis et al). Moreover, the annotation of<i> P. pelagicus</i> gene set could improve the whole genome annotation, contribute towards better understanding of the complexity of the genome and serve as reference sequences for gene functional studies.
