The C. savignyi Genetic Map and its Integration with the Reference Sequence Facilities Insights into Chordate Genome Evolution
نویسندگان
چکیده
Denoting the ordered parental genotypes at a marker as AB and CD, the F1 progeny have genotypes either AC, AD, BC or BD. However, precise genotypes for the genetic markers were not observed; rather, each marker exhibited two, three or four distinct banding patterns across the set of progeny. The connection between banding patterns and the underlying genotypes was inferred as part of the process of establishing linkage between marker pairs. In each case, we considered all possible assignments of genotypes to banding patterns.

The C. savignyi genetic map and its integration with the reference sequence facilitates insights into chordate genome evolution.
The urochordate Ciona savignyi is an emerging model organism for the study of chordate evolution, development, and gene regulation. The extreme level of polymorphism in its population has inspired novel approaches in genome assembly, which we here continue to develop. Specifically, we present the reconstruction of all of C. savignyi's chromosomes via the development of a comprehensive genetic m...
متن کاملExploiting the extraordinary genetic polymorphism of ciona for developmental genetics with whole genome sequencing.
Studies in tunicates such as Ciona have revealed new insights into the evolutionary origins of chordate development. Ciona populations are characterized by high levels of natural genetic variation, between 1 and 5%. This variation has provided abundant material for forward genetic studies. In the current study, we make use of deep sequencing and homozygosity mapping to map spontaneous mutations...

RNA-sequencing is a new method of transcriptome characterization of organisms. Based on identity and relatedness, there are large genetic variations among different cattle breeds. The goal of the current study was to sequence the transcriptome of Guilan native cow and compare with available reference genome using RNA-sequencing method. Blood samples were collected from 14 Guilan native cows and...

Background: Gossypium thurberi is a wild diploid species that has been used to improve cultivated allotetraploid cotton. G. thurberi belongs to D genome, which is an important wild bio-source for the cotton breeding and genetic research. To a certain degree, chloroplast DNA sequence information are a versatile tool for species identification and phylogenetic implications in plants. Different ch...
متن کاملIntegration of the Genetic Map and Genome Assembly of Fugu Facilitates Insights into Distinct Features of Genome Evolution in Teleosts and Mammals
The compact genome of fugu (Takifugu rubripes) has been used widely as a reference genome for understanding the evolution of vertebrate genomes. However, the fragmented nature of the fugu genome assembly has restricted its use for comparisons of genome architecture in vertebrates. To extend the contiguity of the assembly to the chromosomal level, we have generated a comprehensive genetic map of...
