454 Sequencing of Litomosoides sigmodontis transcriptome from 3 lifestages

cDNA from three life-stages of the filarial nematode Litomosoides sigmodontis were obtained and sequenced using 454 FLX and Titanium chemistries. These reads are being used to generate a protein set that will be used for annotating the litomsoides sigmodontis genome, and to act as a reference transcriptome for further transcriptome studies using short read RNA-seq.
