studies for an organism. Although several high
throughput technologies have been developed for
rapid
sequencing
and
characterization
of
transcriptomes, expressed sequence data are still not
available for many organisms, including many crop
plants. In this study, we performed de novo functional
annotation of the
Vicia sativa
L. transcriptome without
considering any reference species with significant
non-redundant set of 34678 transcripts. The detailed
analyses of the data set has provided several important
features of
Vicia sativa
L. transcriptome such as GC
content, conserved genes across legumes and other
plant species, assignment of functional categories by
GO terms and identification of SSRs by MISA tool. It
is noted that this study of
Vicia sativa
L. will be useful
for further functional genomics studies as it includes
useful information of each transcript.

We are heartily thankful to Prof. (Dr.) P.V. Virparia, Director,
GDCST, Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar, for
providing us facilities for the research work.
