Transcriptome analysis of Snow Mountain Garlic for unraveling the organosulfur metabolic pathway

Snow Mountain Garlic grows in the high altitudes of the Himalayas under low temperature conditions. It contains various bioactive compounds whose metabolic pathways have not been worked out at genomic level. The present work is the first report on the transcriptome sequencing of this plant. >43 million paired-end reads (301 × 2) were generated using Illumina Miseq sequencing technology. Assembling of the sequencing data resulted in 326,785...
