TSWV causes serious diseases in many economically important plants including dicots and monocots. TSWV has been identified in soybeans in Iran (Golnaraghi et al. 2001) and Georgia (Nischwitz et al. 2006). In 2016, we collected soybean leaf samples displaying viral disease symptoms such as chlorotic, mosaic, mottling, stunting, and yellowing. 168 samples were collected and categorized by the region that they were collected in. Eight different libraries representing individual provinces were prepared for RNA sequencing using the TruSeq RNA Library Prep Kit v2 in accordance with the manufacturer's instruction...
