25392405	Tissue-specific transcriptome sequencing analysis expands the non-human primate reference transcriptome resource (NHPRTR). [PMID: 25392405] Peng X, Thierry-Mieg J, Thierry-Mieg D, Nishida A, Pipes L, Bozinoski M, Thomas MJ, Kelly S, Weiss JM, Raveendran M, Muzny D, Gibbs RA, Rogers J, Schroth GP, Katze MG, Mason CE. Abstract The non-human primate reference transcriptome resource (NHPRTR, available online at http://nhprtr.org/) aims to generate comprehensive RNA-seq data from a wide variety of non-human primates (NHPs), from lemurs to hominids. In the 2012 Phase I of the NHPRTR project, 19 billion fragments or 3.8 terabases of transcriptome sequences were collected from pools of ? 20 tissues in 15 species and subspecies. Here we describe a major expansion of NHPRTR by adding 10.1 billion fragments of tissue-specific RNA-seq data. For this effort, we selected 11 of the original 15 NHP species and subspecies and constructed total RNA libraries for the same ? 15 tissues in each. The sequence quality is such that 88% of the reads align to human reference sequences, allowing us to compute the full list of expression abundance across all tissues for each species, using the reads mapped to human genes. This update also includes improved transcript annotations derived from RNA-seq data for rhesus and cynomolgus macaques, two of the most commonly used NHP models and additional RNA-seq data compiled from related projects. Together, these comprehensive reference transcriptomes from multiple primates serve as a valuable community resource for genome annotation, gene dynamics and comparative functional analysis. © The Author(s) 2014.

Full name:	Nonhuman Primate Reference Transcriptome Resource
Description:	The Nonhuman Primate Reference Transcriptome Resource (NHPRTR) is a project that was initiated in mid 2010. The concept was to develop a NHP reference transcriptome resource consisting of deep sequencing complete transcriptomes (RNA-seq) from multiple NHP species.NHPRTR aims to generate comprehensive RNA-seq data from a wide variety of non-human primates (NHPs),from lemurs to hominids.
