title: RNA-Seq library of venom gland tissue from Iranian Odontobuthus doriae
design: Total RNA was extracted from venom gland tissue of Odontobuthus doriae scorpions collected from central deserts of Iran in October 2024. Scorpions were milked by electroshock, and venom glands were dissected 3 days post-milking. RNA was stabilized using RNAprotect Tissue Reagent and extracted with the RNeasy Mini Kit. Samples with RIN > 7 were used to construct stranded mRNA libraries using the TruSeq Stranded mRNA Library Prep Kit. Sequencing was performed using 150 bp paired-end reads on the Illumina HiSeq 2000 platform.
