6. Sequencing and assembly strategy Sequencing template: Moving from PCR product to plasmid mini-preparation Average plasmid insert size: 2000bp Usually double-barrel strategy * * (when the overlap between BACs is very high, the choice has been to sequence only one end of the plasmid clones, and then to sequence from the other end only the informative clones) Assembly program: phred/phrap/consed package Sequencing standard for each BAC: < 3% single strand region < 1% single subclone (possibly none) 8-10X coverage

7. Sequencing and assembly (CRIBI, Univ of Padua)

8. To date 18 seed BACs associated to 16 markers (11 mapping on the short arm and 5 on the long arm of chr. 12) have been selected for validation and sequencing. The map position of the clones is being confirmed by means of SNPs identified on the S. pennellii IL population. A total of 23 BACs are currently at different phases of the sequencing pipeline. 4 seed BAC sequences (Phase 3) have been submitted to SGN repository. In order to identify new BACs to move out of the 4 finished seed BACs, as well as of the Phase 1 or 2 BAC clones, a program complementary to the SGN Online BLAST Interface has been developed at CRIBI (Univ. of Padua). A bioinformatic platform has been built at the Univ. of Naples to provide an Italian resource for supporting the annotation of the tomato genome. Summary

12. Problems 1. No marker-specific amplification by PCR of few selected seed BACs 2. Problems with BAC identity: LE_HBa0075C18: BES verified, but no marker in the consensus sequence LE_HBa0260C13: no BES available at SGN LE_HBa0244C09: no BES available before sequencing, then identity not confirmed 3. Wrong map position for: LE_HBa0163O04: BES verified, marker enclosed, FISH map on chr. 7, working on assembly for hard repeat region 4. BACs with repeat regions: LE_HBa0059A05: easily resolved LE_HBa0163O04: hard repeat region ( > plasmid insert size) LE_HBa0147G13: still to work 5. BAC extention: How to move out of a sequenced BAC? Should we trust a fully automated BLASTN? How to choose the right BAC?

13. BAC EXTENSION: “BacEnds Extension v 0.1” developed at CRIBI (Univ. of Padua) This tool has been designed to simplify some of the problems commonly found during the BAC extension procedure in the Tomato Genome Project. Repetitive sequences may easily act as a bridge to many BAC ends belonging to a different part of the genome. The program is already available to the Solanaceae community: http://tomato.cribi.unipd.it / USER: tomato PWD: trial For further informations please contact: Dott. Davide Campagna e-mail: davide@cribi.unipd.it CRIBI, University of Padua

14. BAC EXTENSION: “BacEnds Extension v 0.1” developed at CRIBI (Univ. of Padua) - This tool displays the alignments of a BAC against the available tomato BAC ends - The BAC ends are displayed showing their orientation, thus indicating the direction where the corresponding BAC is extending - The electrophoretic profiles can be opened allowing an immediate control of any discrepancy - The RAP (Repeat Analysis Program)* and Low Complexity indexes are shown indicating the “repetitiousness” of each part of the BAC - Any sequence found in correspondence to a repeat should not be considered as reliable for BAC extension * Campagna D. et al. 2005, ‘RAP:a new computer program for de novo identification of the repeated sequences in whole genomes’ ; Bioinfomatics 21 (5): 582-588

17. Bioinformatics at Univ. of Naples -A bioinformatic platform has been built to provide an Italian resource to support the experimental annotation of the Solanum lycopersicum genome - Annotated EST database from dbEST (NCBI)* for Tomato and Potato species (updated May 2006) - Gbrowse interface for BAC annotation which has been released to the SOL community http://biosrv.cab.unina.it -The BACs available at the SGN site were experimentally annotated and are available through the Generic Genome Browser web interface allowing selection of reference Gene Models to test predictive approaches. -The two EST databases and the Gbrowse are cross-referenced and linked to the Solanaceae Genome Network resources to provide useful data integration. * D’Agostino, Aversano and Chiusano 2005, “ParPEST: A pipeline for EST data analysis based on parallel computing ”; BMC Bioinformatics, 6 (Suppl. 4):S9
