show Abstracthide AbstractThis project provides a new transcriptome assembly for the Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii). Frozen tissue RNA extractions were performed by Max Stammnitz (Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, UK).<br> <b>Data citation</b><br> For use of these resources, please cite: <b>The evolution of two transmissible cancers in Tasmanian devils (Stammnitz et al. 2023, Science 380:6642)</b> <b>Comment</b><br> RNA for this species transcriptome annotation was sourced from 33 Tasmanian devils between 2003 and 2017, and respectively sequenced on the equivalent of 1/3 of an Illumina HiSeq 4000 lane, yielding about 100 Million 75bp PE reads per sample. Mostly in biological duplicates, the featured tissues are: axillary nerve, bone marrow, brachial plexus nerve, brain stem, cerebellum, cerebrum, heart, liver, lung, optic nerve, ovary, pancreas, sciatic nerve, skin, spleen, testis, thyroid and trigeminal nerve.
