Gene expression changes in different stages of Laccaria bicolor basidiocarps

Illumina technology was used to generate mRNA profiles of three stages of L. bicolor basidiocarps. Total RNA was extracted separately from cap and stipe.TruSeq mRNA Stranded libraries were constructed and and 2 x 100 bp sequenced using Illumina HiSeq 2000 at the Genotoul sequencing facilities (Toulouse, France). Raw reads were trimmed for low quality (quality score 0.05), Illumina adapters and sequences shorter than 15 nucleotides and aligned to the L. bicolor v2 reference transcripts available at the JGI database https://mycocosm.jgi.doe.gov/Lacbi2/Lacbi2.home.html using CLC Genomics Workbench v8. mRNA profiles of cap and stipes of three stages of L.bicolor basidiocarps were generated by Illumina HiSeq 2000 (2x100bp). Three biological replicates were sequenced.
