Abstract

Faithful analysis of transcripts represents a critical component of the gene discovery, genomic characterization and annotation process in species without a reference genome. The present study generated 28,001 full-length transcripts of Misgurnus anguillicaudatus using the Pacific Bioscience (PacBio) single-molecule real-time (SMRT) sequencing system. A total of 77,346 consensus isoforms were identified, and 18,991 complete open reading frames (ORFs) detected. In total, 1345 lncRNAs were identified with high-confidence, with additional identification of a number of well-known transcription factors. The present study may facilitate additional exploration of the genomic signatures of M. anguillicaudatus.
