454 Sequencing of Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew) transcriptome from cultured cambial meristematic cells

cDNA from cultured cambial meristematic cells of the Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew) 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 Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew), and to act as a reference transcriptome for further transcriptome studies using short read RNA-seq.
