show Abstracthide AbstractRNAseq was performed on several barley accessions that vary for their reaction to wheat stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici) to identify markers and understand the gene content at the Rps7 (Resistant to Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici 7) locus. The majority of accessions were sequenced at 100 bp paired end, except CI 16147 which had 150 bp paired end reads. RNAseq read quality was assessed and trimmed using Trimmomatic (version 0.32) with the parameters ILLUMINACLIP:2:30:10, LEADING:3, TRAILING:3, SLIDINGWINDOW:4:15, and MINLEN:100. Transcriptome assembly was performed using Tophat (version 2013-11-10) with default parameters.
