Project description:Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of CENH3 in the Arabidopsis thaliana accessions Col-0, Ler-0, Cvi-0 and Tanz-1 was performed in order to align reads to PacBio HiFi genome assemblies which contain complete centromere repeat arrays.
Project description:BackgroundTelomeric repeat arrays at the ends of chromosomes are highly dynamic in composition, but their repetitive nature and technological limitations have made it difficult to assess their true variation in genome diversity surveys.ResultsWe have comprehensively characterized the sequence variation immediately adjacent to the canonical telomeric repeat arrays at the very ends of chromosomes in 74 genetically diverse Arabidopsis thaliana accessions. We first describe several types of distinct telomeric repeat units and then identify evolutionary processes such as local homogenization and higher-order repeat formation that shape diversity of chromosome ends. By comparing largely isogenic samples, we also determine repeat number variation of the degenerate and variant telomeric repeat array at both the germline and somatic levels. Finally, our analysis of haplotype structure uncovers chromosome end-specific patterns in the distribution of variant telomeric repeats, and their linkage to the more proximal non-coding region.ConclusionsOur findings illustrate the spectrum of telomeric repeat variation at multiple levels in A. thaliana-in germline and soma, across all chromosome ends, and across genetic groups-thereby expanding our knowledge of the evolution of chromosome ends.

Project description:We have sequenced messenger RNA isolated from seedling tissue for 19 accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana (with biological replication). The 19 accessions for which RNA-Seq reads were collected have served as the founders for the MAGIC lines, a high-resolution recombinant inbred line mapping resource. RNA sequencing data was used to examine differential gene expression among the accessions.
