Rapid development of molecular resources for an endangered species Tachypleus tridentatus using a RNA-seq-based approach
Three Chinese horseshoe crabs (Tachypleus tridentatus) were collected from Xiamen (Fujian, China) in August 2013. They were transported to Xiamen University. Mussel samples were collected from five individuals as a pool, and stored in RNA later™ (Ambion, Austin, TX, USA). Total RNA from five individual was used for RNA-Seq library construction.
