1 The IWGSC: Strategies & Activities to Sequence the Bread Wheat Genome Kellye A. Eversole IWGSC Executive Director & The IWGSC Wheat Breeding 2014: Tools, Targets, & Progress Harpenden, United Kingdom 29 January 2014

2 Launched in 2005 on the initiative of Kansas Growers Executive director K. Eversole Sponsors Coordinating Committee General members Co-chairs R. Appels J. Dvorak C. Feuillet B. Gill B. Keller Y. Ogihara The International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium

3 Why Lay a foundation to accelerate wheat improvement Increase profitability throughout the industry Vision High quality annotated genome sequence, comparable to rice genome sequence Physical map-based, integrated and ordered sequence

4 Wheat Improvement is Complex  Yield potential and yield stability  Quality of grain and co-products  Adaptation to climate change  Durable resistance to biotic stress

5 Complexity Requires an Integrated Toolbox Training, capacity building -> expertise and critical mass Improved wheat varieties

6  Chromosomes: 605 - 995 Mbp (3.6 – 5.9% of the genome) Dissection of the genome into single chromosomes (arms) Triticum aestivum (2n = 6x = 42) 1C ~ 17,000 Mbp AABB DD  Chromosome arms: 225 - 585 Mbp (1.3 – 3.4% of the genome) D B ; A Doležel et al., Chromosome Res. 15: 51, 2007 Managing the 17 Gb, Hexaploid Genome Chromosome genomics  Chromosome specific BAC libraries and sequencing IEB

7 Faster and cheaper methods to tackle the wheat genome Wetterstrand KA. DNA Sequencing Costs: Data from the NHGRI www.genome.gov/sequencingcosts. http://flxlexblog.wordpress.com/2012/12/03/developments -in-next-generation-sequencing-a-visualisation/

11 MTP sequencing A reference sequence anchored to the genetic and phenotypic maps Long term Physical mapping of individual chromosomes Short term Gene catalog Virtual order Markers Survey sequencing of individual chromosomes Roadmap to the Wheat Genome Sequence

12 Physical maps Illumina Survey sequences Pseudo- molecules Current status of individual projects

13 IWGSC Chromosome Survey Sequencing Initiative Amplified DNA- sorted individual chromosomes ~50X Illumina sequence >30X Illumina sequence Chromosome arm sequence assemblies Gene modeling, virtual ordering (GZ), annotation, functional, structural analyses Composition and Evolution of the 21 Bread Wheat Chromosomes A, S, D, & AB genomes (7) Read/assembly alignment to chromosome arms

14 Summary IWGSC Chromosome Survey Sequencing - Summary Almost full wheat gene complement identified and allocated to chromosome arms On average, 53% of genes virtually ordered along chromosomes High level of inter- and intrachromosomal duplication Over 3.5 M markers mapped to contigs (1.3M wheat markers + 2.3M SNPs) - SSR, EST, DArT, SNP (90k) markers... 13.2 million SNPs from POPSeq aligned to contigs

15 New phylogenetic analyses of wheat genome evolution Definition of core and pan gene sets for Triticeae by comparing di-tetra- and hexaploid genomes Homoeologue-specific gene expression analyses Wheat haplotype map – E.
