Sequencing and Denovo assembly of Lentil transcriptome using short read sequence data.

High throughput sequencing of the lentil trancriptome and its de novo assembly was carried out due to lack of sufficient genomic resources. This would help in genetic improvement of the crop. In this study paired end sequencing was performed on illumina genome analyser platform. After its assembly , GO terms were given to the transcripts and SSRs were also identified.
