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.

这是在西太平洋海山地区调查中收集的深海八珊瑚Calyptrophora lyra和Chrysogorgia stellata的转录组组装的第一份报告。我们使用 Illumina NovaSeq 6000 系统对C. lyra和C. stellata的转录组进行了测序。编码区的从头组装和分析从C. lyra的总 116,441,796 条读数中预测了 193,796 个单基因，从C. stellata的总 122,031,866 条读数中预测了 235,513 个单基因. 我们的数据是了解西太平洋深海珊瑚生态和生物学特征的宝贵资源。这些数据还将有助于研究作为极端和有限栖息地的深海环境，并为未来的研究和深入了解深海珊瑚对环境变化的生物反应提供方向。
