Raw sequence reads (RNA-seq) from embryos of Basiliscus vittatus incubated at 26C and 32C. Basiliscus vittatus

We generated strand-specific RNA-seq libraries (using the Illumina TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library protocol) for a total of six samples obtained from whole embryos incubated at 26C (four samples; 3 females and one male) and 32C (two samples; two females). Embryos were sexed using Y-specific primers. Each library was sequenced on Illumina HiSeq 2500 platforms (100 nucleotides, paired-end). We generated 31,910,378 million reads on average (+- 3,753,014 million reads).
