Popis: Chondrichthyans (cartilaginous fishes) exhibit highly variable reproductive styles, categorized as viviparity and oviparity. Among these, species with oviparity provide an enormous potential of molecular experimentation with stable sample supply which does not demand the sacrifices of live mothers. Cartilaginous fishes are divided into two subclasses, chimaeras (Holocephali) and elasmobranchs (Elasmobranchii), and the latter consists of two monophyletic groups, Batoidea (rays, skates and torpedoes) and Selachimorpha (sharks). Here we report transcriptome assemblies of the ocellate spot skate Okamejei kenojei, produced by strand-specific RNA-seq of its embryonic tissues. We obtained a total of 325 million illumina short reads from libraries prepared using four different tissue domains and assembled them all together. Our assembly result confirmed the species authenticity and high continuity of contig sequences. Also, assessment of its coverage of pre-selected one-to-one orthologs supported high diversity of transcripts in the assemblies. Our products are expected to provide a basis of comparative molecular studies encompassing other chondrichthyan species with emerging genomic and transcriptomic sequence information.
