The first insight into the tissue specific taxus transcriptome via Illumina second generation sequencing.
<h4>Background</h4>Illumina second generation sequencing is now an efficient route for generating enormous sequence collections that represent expressed genes and quantitate expression level. Taxus is a world-wide endangered gymnosperm genus and forms an important anti-cancer medicinal r...
