ABSTRACT
Pyrocystis lunula is a unicellular bioluminescing dinoflagellates. While the mechanisms and genes underlying bioluminescence and luciferase synthesis are understood in many bioluminescing clades, it remains unknown in dinoflagellates. We took advantage of merging long and short reads to provide here a de novo assembly of P. lunula transcriptome. A total of 975 million filtered paired-end reads were obtained and assembled into 155,716 contigs corresponding to putative transcripts that were functionally annotated. This dataset will be valuable for improving our understanding of protist's biology and is accessible via NCBI BioProject (PRJNA727555).
