Cataloging expressed genes is the first step to understand genome-wide characteristics of wild animals. We analyzed transcriptome sequences with RNA from whole blood cells of 10 avian species including raptors. More than 7Gb of transcript sequences per species were generated, which were de novo assembled into 156,843 ± 24,240 contigs with average length of 1,068 ± 62 bp. About 28.09±4.71% of these contigs had blast hits against SwissProt Protein DB. Most of the best blast hits were genes originated from vertebrates, while 0.42±0.15% were from viruses. Genes encoding hemoglobin, histocompatibility antigen, and ribosomal proteins were among the genes with highest expression level. These data will be valuable resources for the genome analysis of wild species.
