13 th January 2008 Plant & Animal Genome Conference Progress with Sequencing Tomato Chromosome 4 Clare Riddle Tomato Project Group Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute
A Summary of… Map progress Strategies for additional chromosome coverage Chromosome 4 sequencing and clone selection update BAC Finishing report Copyright Wellcome Trust Medical Photographic Library
BAC Library & Map Resources – January 2008 Library No. of clones Average Insert Genome equivalents Fingerprints End Sequenced ? LE_HBa129, kb15 X 10x (88,000 AGI ) Yes (188,130) SL_MboI52, kb7 X 5x (43,000 WTSI) Yes (112,507) SL_EcoI72, kb7 X- Yes (101,375) BAC Libraries
Additional Resources Fosmid library (end-sequenced Dec 2007) –smaller than BACs –known insert size Contig extension Gap closure Confirm assembly –107,681 tomato reads added to trace archive
PseudoGoldenPath (PGP) Analysis of Fosmid Library for Contig Extension Fosmid end sequences (from pilot study of 3 plates) deposited by Cornell have been aligned to chromosome 4 sequence Potential Extender Fosmid end sequences from plates will be incorporated in to next PGP - January 2008
Chromosome 4 Map – January chromosome 4 FPC contigs Tiling paths selected across contigs Additional contig coverage required Strategies to identify further coverage: Screen unanchored markers Walk from contig ends by hybridization Libraries gridded in- house
Chromosome Position and Localisation FISH analysis for Chr4 Placement Repeat Assessment of clones to determine heterochromatic/euchromatic boundaries
