A chromosome conformation capture ordered sequence of the barley genome.

چکیده
Cereal grasses of the Triticeae tribe have been the major food source in temperate regions since the dawn of agriculture. Their large genomes are characterized by a high content of repetitive elements and large pericentromeric regions that are virtually devoid of meiotic recombination. Here we present a high-quality reference genome assembly for barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). We use chromosome conformation capture mapping to derive the linear order of sequences across the pericentromeric space and to investigate the spatial organization of chromatin in the nucleus at megabase resolution. The composition of genes and repetitive elements differs between distal and proximal regions. Gene family analyses reveal lineage-specific duplications of genes involved in the transport of nutrients to developing seeds and the mobilization of carbohydrates in grains. We demonstrate the importance of the barley reference sequence for breeding by inspecting the genomic partitioning of sequence variation in modern elite germplasm, highlighting regions vulnerable to genetic erosion.

Construction of a map-based reference genome sequence for barley, Hordeum vulgare L.
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a cereal grass mainly used as animal fodder and raw material for the malting industry. The map-based reference genome sequence of barley cv. 'Morex' was constructed by the International Barley Genome Sequencing Consortium (IBSC) using hierarchical shotgun sequencing. Here, we report the experimental and computational procedures to (i) sequence and assemble more th...

متن کاملImproving and correcting the contiguity of long-read genome assemblies of three plant species using optical mapping and chromosome conformation capture data.
Long-read sequencing can overcome the weaknesses of short reads in the assembly of eukaryotic genomes; however, at present additional scaffolding is needed to achieve chromosome-level assemblies. We generated Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) long-read data of the genomes of three relatives of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana and assembled all three genomes into only a few hundred contigs. To im...
متن کاملHi-C: Genome-wide Chromosome Conformation Capture
The three-dimensional conformation of chromosomes in the nucleus is important for many cellular processes, including the regulation of gene expression, DNA replication, and chromatin structure [1]. Despite having the entire sequence of the genome, very little has been understood about three-dimensional chromosome conformation beyond the scale of the nucleosome. However, recent advances in molec...

Motivation: The physical structure of chromatin is associated with a variety of biological phenomena including long-range regulation, chromosome rearrangements, and somatic copy number alterations. Chromosome conformation capture is a recent experimental technique that results in pairwise proximity measurements between chromosome locations in a genome. This information can be used to construct ...
