Transcriptome-wide sequence data from Ochotona princeps collected at hight and low elevation sites.
This study provides transcriptome sequences from American pika (Ochotona princeps) collected at high (1433m) and low (301m) elevation sites in British Columbia, Canada. Samples from each elevation are a pool of five different tissues (brain, gonad, heart, liver, lung) from three different individuals; cDNA was sequenced using 454 Titanium GS FLX. These data are part of ongoing research into the genetic basis of adaptation to different environmental conditions.
