The first comprehensive transcriptome for the American mink genome  16111 contigs [HAAF01000001-HAAF01016111]
HiSeq 2000 Illumina paired end sequenced transcript data originating from a pool of 4 mink tissues yielded approximately 90 Gb of raw data. Over 260.000 unique contigs were assembled by a combined approach using Velvet and Phrap. Of these, 136.000 (52%) match the dog genome and nearly 30.000 contigs match the human transcriptome at more than 17.000 unique gene locations (~1.6 contig/gene). Gene annotation for these contigs was performed employing custom made scripts run in combination with blast result from the dog and human genome. This is the first comprehensive transcriptome for the American mink genome which will facilitate further development in mink profiling studies and enable a good annotation in the perspectives of the whole genome sequencing project
