TinoTranscriptDB: A Database of Transcripts and Microsatellite Markers of Tinospora cordifolia, an Important Medicinal Plant.

ABSTRACT: Tinospora cordifolia, commonly known as "Giloe" in India, is a shrub belonging to the family Menispermaceae. It is an important medicinal plant known for its antipyretic, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and antidiabetic properties and is used in the treatment of jaundice, gout, and rheumatism. Despite its economic importance, the limited information related to its genomic resources prohibits its judicious exploitation through molecular breeding or biotechnological approaches. In this study, we generated a meta-transcriptome assembly of 43,090 non-redundant transcripts by merging the RNASeq data obtained from Roche 454 GS-FLX, and Illumina platforms, and report the first transcriptome-based database for simple sequence repeats and transcription factors ("TinoTranscriptDB" (Tinos
