Background: Eukaryotic flagellum is highly conserved in basic structure and biogenesis, and defects in ciliary assembly or function lead to a wide range of human disease symptoms. The alga Dunaliella salina (D. salina), provides an excellent model for investigating flagellar/ciliary system. However, the genome it carries is unpublished. Results: To In this study, using high-throughput illumina RNA sequencing, the transcriptomes from flagella-assembling D. salina were analyzed firstly at an unprecedented depth. About 4 giga bases of raw sequence data were generated and 197,295 uni-genes were annotated with gene descriptions, conserved protein domains, or gene ontology terms against public databases. Among the annotated uni-genes, 25,412 uni-genes were differentially expressed during flagella regeneration, including 9,988 up-regulated uni-gene.. View More»
