Outline I. Physical Map of C. briggsae II. Constructing the Initial Genetic Map III. Polymorphism Discovery IV. Assay Development V. The Genetic Map Web Site VI. Resources for C. briggsae as a model organism

The Physical Map (cb25) Shotgun sequencing of AF16 strain Shotgun sequencing of AF16 strain 5,341 supercontigs 5,341 supercontigs 578 fingerprint contigs 578 fingerprint contigs Assembly not organized by chromosomes Assembly not organized by chromosomes

The Initial SNP Map 1. S. Baird made 2 sets of ~100 Recombinant Inbred lines Cross 1: AF16 X HK104 Cross 2: AF16 X VT SNPs discovered by shotgun sequencing (GSC). 3. Selected 267 SNPs from the largest contigs in the physical map 4. Genotyped the RILs 5. Assembled the map using data from 248 SNPs.

The Draft Genetic Map Genetic Map of Cb4 (R. Miller) The Genetic Map and the Physical Map Coverage as of v3.0: 117 ultra-contigs (~71.5%) of the C. briggsae genome. Several changes made to cb25 genome assembly (R. Waterston and L. Hillier – pers. comm). Homology with C. elegans (Ibid) briggsaeelegans Cb1I Cb2II Cb3III Cb4IV Cb5V CbXX

SNP Discovery in HK104 In 13,632 HK104 sequence traces: 7,669 SNPs found by all methods 15,438 SNPs found by two methods Reasons for Disagreement Quality scoring & trimming Repetitive regions

HK104 SNPs

Improving SNP Discovery Data set may be used to test the next version of Polybayes (G. Marth, pers. comm). Data set may be used to test the next version of Polybayes (G. Marth, pers. comm). New software: Polyphred, Ssaha-SNP, novoSNP New software: Polyphred, Ssaha-SNP, novoSNP High-confidence SNPs will be submitted to Wormbase High-confidence SNPs will be submitted to Wormbase Quality scores and “hits”  quantify the SNP quality Quality scores and “hits”  quantify the SNP quality
