Transcriptome of the conifer Pinus cembra (Swiss stone pine) based on Swiss individuals

We use in-depth transcriptome sequencing to design probes for exome capture in 16 Swiss stone pine (Pinus cembra), a conifer with an estimated genome size of 29.3 Gbp and no 17 reference genome available. The final transcriptome consisted of 40,468 transcripts representing 27,979 TRINITY genes, totaling to 69.4 Mbp of sequence. Average and median transcript length were 1711 and 1422 bp, respectively (Fig. S1). N50 was 2380 bp and GC content 42.2%. More than 80% of the contigs (34,010) could be annotated.
