Deep sequencing of the transcriptome and mining of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) provide genomic resources for applied studies in Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)

Abstract

We deep-sequenced the transcriptome of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) that yielded 2.5 million high-quality reads (combined for four fish) with an average length of 378 bp. De novo assembly resulted in 44,264 contigs with an average length of 5
