Abstract
This is the first report of the transcriptome assemblies of the deep-sea octocorals Calyptrophora lyra and Chrysogorgia stellata, which were collected in a survey of the West Pacific seamounts area. We sequenced the transcriptomes of C. lyra and C. stellata using the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 System. De novo assembly and analysis of the coding regions predicted 193,796 unigenes from the total 116,441,796 reads of C. lyra and 235,513 unigenes from the total 122,031,866 reads of C. stellata. Our data are a valuable resource with which to understand the ecological and biological characteristics of the West Pacific deep-sea corals. The data will also contribute to the study of deep-sea environments as extreme and limited habitats and provide direction for future research and further insight into the organismal responses of deep-sea corals to environmental changes.
