Description
This dataset contains raw transcriptome sequences of common woodlice Porcellio scaber (Crustacea: Isopoda), an important model species in ecotoxicology, developmental biology, immunology and physiology studies. In this context, dataset (transcriptome) provides a cornerstone for all future gene-based research of P. scaber.
For transcriptome construction, total RNA was extracted from the whole organism of P. scaber. The extracted RNA was checked for quantity, purity, and integrity and sent to Novogene (United Kingdom) for sequencing. The transcriptome was generated by high-throughput sequencing using an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 platform with 150 bp paired-end option. The dataset contains raw reads recorded in FASTQ format; Ps2_1.fq and Ps2_2.fq, containing Read 1 and Read 2 for paired-end sequencing, respectively.
