Comprehensive transcriptome characterization of Grus japonensis using PacBio SMRT and Illumina sequencing.

ABSTRACT: The red-crowned crane (Grus japonensis) is an endangered species distributed across southeast Russia, northeast China, Korea, and Japan. Here, we sequenced for the first time the full-length unreferenced transcriptome of red-crowned crane mixed samples using a PacBio Sequel platform. A total of 359,136 circular consensus sequences (CCS) were obtained via clustering to remove redundancy. A total of 303,544 full-length non-chimeric sequences were identified by judging whether CCS contained 5' and 3' adapters, and the poly(A) tail. Eight samples were sequenced using Illumina, and PacBio sequencing data were corrected according to the collected Illumina data to obtain more accurate full-length transcripts. A total of 4,100 long non-coding RNAs, 13,115 simple sequences repeat loci and 29 transc
