RNA-Seq of Asparagus officinalis
Asparagus dormant buds (Bu), growing buds (BL), rhizomes (Rz) tissue samples collected from Guelph Millennium (GM) and UC157 (UC) cultivars over three harvest dates during spring and fall of 2020 and 2021 were sequenced. Next Ultra II Directional polyA mRNA library prep kit was used to construct libraries from the mRNA. The cDNA libraries were sequenced on two lanes of an Illumina NovaSeq 6000 SP flowcell with a read length of 2x 100 bases (paired-end).
