The Life Technologies’ SOLiD 4 sequencing platform was used for transcriptomic sequencing of the porcine testis and oviduct samples. Approximately 70 to 80 million reads were obtained for each sample (Table 1). Between 30% and 65% of the reads could be mapped against the pig genome build 10.2. Pearson’s correlation between the testis samples was 0.94, and was 0.76 between the more heterogeneous oviduct samples. Hierarchical clustering using Euclidean metrics and average linkage method grouped the parallel tissue samples clearly together as expected. After filtering low-mapping-quality reads [mapQV (<10)], most of the reads were mapped on exons (27–41%), and many were mapped on intergenic regions (25–33%) (Table 1), indicating potentially unannotated expressed genes in the pig genome.
