title: RNAseq reads from merozoite and schizont stages of Sarcocystis neurona, strain SN3
design: Total RNA from duplicate samples of schizonts representing early-stage schizonts [8 h (UKY2a, UKY2b)], [24 h (UKY4a, UKY4b)], mid-stage schizonts [48 h (UKY5a, UKY5b)] and late-stage schizonts [72 h (UKY6a, UKY6b)], and the extracellular merozoites [(UKY7a, UKY7b)] was isolated using Trizol reagent (Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY). Total RNA in nuclease free water was submitted to the Genome Sequencing and Analysis Core Resource at Duke University (Durham, NC) for generation of strand-specific mRNA libraries. Bar-coded multiplexed libraries were sequenced on a single lane of the Illumina HiSeq 2000/2500 Rapid Run Platform to generate 100 bp paired-end reads.
