A pan-transcriptome analysis shows that disease resistance genes have undergone more selection pressure during barley domestication

With the availability of such a large quantity of RNA-seq datasets, it should be possible to capture most of expressed genes in barley genome. Thus, in our study we are aiming to 1) construct a pan-transcriptome with published RNA-seq data from 63 cultivated and wild barley genotypes, and 2) evaluate the effect of domestication at a pan-transcriptome level.
