We produced a unique large data set of reference transcriptomes to obtain new knowledge about the evolution of plant genomes and crop domestication. For this purpose, we validated a RNA‐Seq data assembly protocol to perform comparative population genomics. For the validation, we assessed and compared the quality of de novo Illumina short‐read assemblies using data from two crops for which an annotated reference genome was available, namely grapevine and sorghum. We used the same protocol for…
