The increasing desire to discover alternative energy sources has recently heightened interest in developing M. × giganteus as a biofuel due to, among other factors, its exceptionally large biomass yield. In this study, mRNA extractions from ten dissimilar M. × giganteus tissues were sequenced, generating over eighty-three million high-quality short paired-end reads. Reads were assembled into over sixty-one thousand contiguous sequences, creating a novel representation of the transcriptome for this prominent non-model organism. Active expression of the ESTs was subsequently analyzed by RNA-Seq on pre-existing Sorghum bicolor gene models in order to generate a series of expression profiles for the Miscanthus tissues sampled. This analysis aims to provide a means for the deeper understanding of M. × giganteus, with the hope that traits such as biomass accumulation, nutrient utilization, and tolerance of environmental stress can be more thoroughly identified and documented.
