A multi-tissue transcriptome resource of  twenty-three tissues for the American mink, Neovison vison
The American mink (Neovison vison) is a carnivore belonging to the weasel family (Mustelidae), and is due to the fur of significant economic importance. The mink genome and transcriptome has only been characterized scarcely so far. Therefore, to establish a resource for gene discovery and genome annotation, we present large scale RNA-seq data of 23 different tissues originating from a wild type female mink. Hence, more than 1,4 billion sequences were generated followed by de novo assembly of the mink transcriptome.
