For this purpose, we validated a RNA-Seq data assembly protocol to perform comparative population genomics. For the validation, we assessed and compared the quality of de novo Illumina short-read assemblies using data from two crops for which an annotated reference genome was available, namely grapevine and sorghum. We used the same protocol for the release of 26 new transcriptomes of crop plants and wild relatives, including still understudied crops such as yam, pearl millet and fonio. The species list has a wide taxonomic representation with the inclusion of 15 monocots and 11 eudicots. All contigs were annotated using BLAST, prot4EST and Blast2GO. A strong originality of the data set is that each crop is associated with close relative species, which will permit whole-genome comparative evolutionary studies between crops and their wild-related species. This large resource will thus serve research communities working on both crops and model organisms. All the data are available at specialized comparative genomics reference transcriptomes RNA-Seq 076 020 Molecular Ecology Resources 17 3 565-580 2017 1755-098X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010070059 10.1111/1755-0998.12587 1755-098X [F B010070059] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010070059 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2017/06/010070059.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2017-07-03 2023-10-16 fdi:010070059 fre
