Sequencing of Transcriptome and Small RNA Revealed the Xenobiotic Metabolism-Related Genes and Potential Regulatory miRNA in Asian Tramp Snail.

ABSTRACT: The Asian tramp snail, Bradybaena similaris (Ferusssac), is an invasive land snail species and has been a rising agricultural pest in south of China. As a pest, it also plays a role in transmission of Angiostrongylus cantonensis. However, present studies on this species are rare and the molecular information is limited. For this purpose, we sequenced the transcriptome and small RNA of B. similaris collected from citrus orchards. In total, 89,747 unigenes with an N50 size of 1287 bp and an average length of 817 bp were generated from ∼8.9 Gb transcriptome and 31 Mb clean reads were generated from ∼36 Mb small RNA library. To demonstrate the usefulness of these two datasets, we analyzed a series of genes associated with xenobiotic metabolism and core RNAi machinery. Anal
