De novo assembly of the perennial ryegrass transcriptome using an RNA-Seq strategy.

<h4>Background</h4>Perennial ryegrass is a highly heterozygous outbreeding grass species used for turf and forage production. Heterozygosity can affect de-Bruijn graph assembly making de novo transcriptome assembly of species such as perennial ryegrass challenging. Creating a reference t...
