Project description:The huge size, the redundancy and the great repeated portion of the bread wheat genome [Triticum aestivum (L.)], placed it among the most difficult species to be sequenced and dissected at the genetic, structural and evolutionary levels. To overcome the limitations, a strategy based on the genome compartmentalization in individual chromosomes and the subsequent production of physical maps was established within the frame of the International Wheat Genome Sequence Consortium. A total of 95,812 BAC clones of short (5AS) and long (5AL) arm-specific BAC libraries, were fingerprinted and assembled into contigs by complementary analytical approaches based on FingerPrinted Contigs and Linear Topological Contig. Combined anchoring approaches based on PCR marker screening, microarray and BlastN searches, applied to interlinked genomic tools, that is genetic maps, deletion bin map, high-density neighbor map, BAC end sequences, genome zipper and chromosome survey sequences, allowed the development of a high quality physical map, with an anchored physical coverage of 75% for 5AS and 53% for 5AL, with high portions (64 and 48%, respectively) ordered along the chromosome. The gene distribution along the wheat chromosome 5A compared with the closest related genomes showed a pattern of syntenic blocks belonging to different chromosomes of Brachypodium, rice and sorghum and regions involving translocations and inversions. The physical map presented here is currently the most comprehensive map for 5A chromosome and represents an essential resource for fine genetic mapping and map-based cloning of agronomically relevant traits, and a reference for the 5A sequencing projects. 55 DNA pools of short arm of chromsome 5A and 63 DNA pools of long arm of 5A. The DNAs derive from BAC clones of the Minimal Tiling Paths produced by physical assemly of BAC fingerprints.

Project description:To improve the resources for map-based cloning and sequencing of the wheat genome, we established a physical map of the wheat chromosome 1BL with a high density of markers by hybridizing the newly developed INRA GDEC Triticum aestivum NimbleGen 12x17k ISBP microarray (A-MEXP-2312) with BAC pools from the 1BL physical map. Then, we managed to map 3912 ISBP on the wheat chromosome 1BL BACs. The values in the 'Factor Value[individual]' column represent the BAC pool that have been hybridized on the array. For example, the assay 1 correspond to the hybridization of a bulk of all DNA BAC of the plate 1 of the MTP (Minimum Tilling path) BAC library of the chromosome 1BL.

Project description:To improve our understanding of the organization and evolution of the wheat gene space, we established the first map of genes of the wheat chromosome 1BL by hybridizing the newly developed INRA GDEC Triticum aestivum NimbleGen 12x40k unigenes microarray (A-MEXP-2314) with BAC pools from the 1BL physical map as well as with genomic DNA of the sorted chromosome 1BL. By hybridizing the BAC pools with the wheat NimbleGen 40K unigenes chip we managed to map almost 1615 unigenes on the wheat chromosome 1BL BACs. By hybridizing the genomic DNA of the 1BL sorted chromosome and by comparison with 454 sequences from the sorted chromosome 1BL, we confirmed the assignation of 1223 unigenes in individual BACs from the chromosome 1BL. This data allowed us to study the organization of the wheat gene space along chromosome 1BL. The sequences of the unigenes helped to perform synteny and evolutionary analyses of these unigenes.

Project description:To improve our understanding of the organization and evolution of the wheat gene space, we established the first map of genes of the wheat chromosome 1BS by hybridizing the newly developed INRA GDEC Triticum aestivum NimbleGen 12x40k unigenes microarray (A-MEXP-2314) with 3D-pools of MTP BACs of from the 1BS physical map. By hybridizing the BAC pools with the wheat NimbleGen 40K unigenes chip we managed to map almost 1063 unigenes on the wheat chromosome 1BS BACs. By comparison with 454 sequences and Illumina survey sequence contigs from the sorted chromosome 1BS, we confirmed the assignation of 849 unigenes in individual BACs from the chromosome 1BS. This data allowed us to study the organization of the wheat gene space along chromosome 1BS. The sequences of the unigenes helped to perform synteny and evolutionary analyses of these unigenes. DNA from MTP clones were pooled into 3D manner: library of MTP clones was stored in 17 plates of 384 wells (24 columns x 16 rows); plate1 pool consist of mixture of DNA from all MTP clones situated in plate 1, Row A pool consist of mixture of DNA from all MTP clones situated in Rows A (from all 17 plates, etc). The set of positive plate, column and row pools for the unigene (represented in microarray) allow to detect the list of putative positive clones (clones from the intersection of positive pools, cleaned using information on physical intersection clones based on clone fingerprints). Hence, all 57 experiments (17 for plate pools, 24 for column pools, and 16 for row pools) have the same experimental factor.
