Total Transcriptome Sequencing of Latrodecutus hesperus Venome Gland
Prior to assembly, FASTQ files generated by Illumina sequencing were processed to remove any adapter or low quality sequences (we trimmed reads with a quality score of less than 28 from the end of each read, and removed entirely both read mate-pairs for which this procedure resulted in a sequence less than 60 nucleotides from either of the read mate-pairs).  The FastQC package was used to verify the quality of the resulting trimmed and filtered reads.
