Qingshan Xu, Junyan Zhu, Shiqi Zhao, Yan Hou, et al.

Info:
Scientists from Anhui Agricultural University in China performed long-read transcriptome sequencing of the tea plant Camellia sinensis to better understand its production of flavonoids, theanine, and caffeine. They used PacBio sequencing with BluePippin size selection.
