Maize Genome Project • Shiran Pasternak • January 13, 2006 • Gramene SAB Meeting • San Diego, CA
Maize Genome Project • 3 year sequencing effort • Funded November, 2005 • Objectives • Sequence the maize genespace • Genic and regulatory regions • Finish 721 contigs: 1 in 100,000 error rate • Anchor to physical and genetic maps
Project Participants • Arizona Genome Institute (AGI) • Mapping • Washington University at St. Louis (WU) • Sequencing • Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) • Analysis and Annotation
CSHL Functions • Annotation • Visualization
Annotation • Internal • Public
Internal Annotation • Prefinishing: Automated • Enrich BAC assemblies with AutoFinish ‘Do Not Finish’ repeat tags • Finishing: Manual • Tag mRNA and ESTs to target problematic regions
Public Annotation • Iteratively redefine gene boundaries • Provide new knowledge on maize genome • Communicate status of the project
Annotation Pipeline • Gramene-Ensembl • Whole genome alignment to rice • ab initio gene prediction with Fgenesh • Evidence-based gene prediction • Repeat analysis • Full annotation on nearly finished BACs
Visualization • Gramene and Ensembl Browser • Existing: Contigs, Genes, Synteny • CMap Views • Whole genome alignment • Sequencing status of BACs & Contigs • Other track suggestions?
Synteny View * against Rice
Infrastructure • Hardware • 2 servers, forthcoming node cluster • Dedicated architecture • Genome browser • Database schemata • Annotation pipeline
Data Releases • Ongoing annotation updates (weekly) • Repeats • Gene models • Infrequent genome builds (yearly?) • Orthologs • Syntenic Loci
Impact on Gramene • Cost: $0 • Maize browser will link to Gramene content • Evolving requirements
