19698 Ipomoea batatas mRNA sequences were downloaded from GenBank databases CoreNucleotide and dbEST (07-May-2008). All the CoreNucleotide mRNA sequences and the dbEST sequences of libraries with less than 100 sequences were grouped into the virtual mRNA library for ipomoea_batatas (vlGB_o145mRNA). 

These sequences were processed using the follow software:
 - Seqclean (http://compbio.dfci.harvard.edu/tgi/software/) with UniVec and ColiBank95 datasets (both from NCBI database) and sol-plast-mit-ncds.fasta dataset (available in the SGN ftp site, this file contains non-codificant-sequences from mitochondria and plastids in solanaceae).
 - SGN perl script that analyze blast results to find possible chimera sequences.

By default was used a 15 quality value per nt.

19411 Ipomoea batatas mRNA processing sequences were obtained.
