Genomics of Water Use Efficiency Advisory Committee MeetingNov 2003 • Comparative mapping • FISH software and related computational methods • Application to tomato fine-mapping • QTL mapping • experimental design and analysis methodology • QTL data management • web application
Comparative mapping: computational aspects • Software needed for two tasks • Identification of homologous chromosomal segments given two marker maps and information about homology among markers (FISH) • Prediction of gene content within homologous segments (ongoing work)
We need to allow for • non-colinearity in marker order • the presence of ‘singleton’ markers
Going beyond eyeballing • LineUp – Hampson et al (2003) • Designed for genetic maps with error • ADHoRe – Van der Poele (2002) • Designed for unambiguous marker order data • Both perform automatic detection of blocks • For statistics, both employ permutation tests • Computationally intensive • p-values are approximate • What is the null model?
Two contributions • Local genome alignment • Dynamic programming approach • Fast • Guarantee of optimality • Can be generalized to multiple alignments • Statistics • An explicit null model for marker homology • Analytic p-values (i.e. no permutation testing) • Contributors • Sugata Chakravarty (Masters, UNC Operations Research) • Peter Calabrese (collaborator, USC)
From homology matrix to graph • nodes () • represent dots in the homology matrix
From homology matrix to graph • nodes () • represent dots in the homology matrix • edges () • connect nodes with nearest neighbors • are unidirectional • have an associated distance • must be shorter than some threshold
From homology matrix to graph • nodes () • represent dots in the homology matrix • edges () • connect nodes with nearest neighbors • are unidirectional • have an associated distance • must be shorter than some threshold • paths () • traverse shortest available edges • can be efficiently computed • can be considered candidate blocks
Block statistics • An explicit null model • Within a genome: homologies are due to the duplication of a feature followed by its insertion into a random position • Between genomes: homologies are due to the above process plus the transposition of features between randomly chosen positions. • Number of blocks of a given size is approximately Poisson • We can calculate • The expected number of blocks of a given size • A conservative matrix-wide p-value
How often are blocks of size k observed under the null model compared with expectation (in simulated data)? • kobsstderrupboundlowbound • 45.8 0.06 47.6 40.1 • 2.28 0.02 2.39 1.78 • 0.113 0.003 0.120 0.079 • 0.006 0.001 0.006 0.004 • 0.0003 0.0002 0.0003 0.0002

Prediction of gene content • Explicitly model gene loss among homologous segments • Perform multiple rather than pairwise alignment • To provide • Markers for fine-mapping • Candidate genes
Phytome (http://www.phytome.org) • Funded independently through PGRP • A web interface to a relational database for plant comparative genomics • Integrating organismal phylogenies, genetic maps and gene phylogenies • Inclusive of major model plant species • Functionality • Explore relationships among genes/proteins and chromosome segments within and between species • Predict gene content in uncharacterized chromosomal regions. • Current status • One can search for, retrieve, visualize and manipulate protein sequences, gene families, multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees for nine species • Will be made live during 2004 • Ongoing work to integrate “phylocartographic” data and tools • Curation • Analysis • Visualization
Protein sequence prediction (ESTWise) Homolog identification (BLAST) Unigene collections Protein sequences GenBank IDs Descriptions GO terms Protein family clustering (TRIBE-MCL) Protein families Multiple alignments Multiple sequence alignment (CLUSTALW) Phytome Phylogenetic trees Phylogenetic inference (PHYLIP)
Comparative mapping in aid of marker development: application • Complementary to marker development strategy at OK State • Proposed work (within coming year) • Combine computational predictions and experimental validation to design PCR-based markers in tomato based on known genes in homologous segments of Arabidopsis • To be used for fine mapping of QTLs in pennellii (and possible hirsutum).

QTL Data Converter Tool • A utility that converts QTL data files to and from the various software formats • Currently, the utility can do the following: • Convert comma-delimited (CSV) genotype, phenotype and map data files to the following formats: • QTL Cartographer cross.inp and map.inp input files • Qgene filename.cro and filename.map input files. • Error-check the input data files. • Transpose data file rows and columns, if desired. • Tag special data with prefixes, for use in Qgene. • Summarize data file characteristics.
Future plans • Optimize XML code • Add additional software formats • MapMaker • MapPop • others as needed (JoinMap, MultiQTL, etc.) • Release in mid-2004 • Advertise availability • Published note • Mailing list announcements
QTL mapping methodology • Problem • QTL analysis in mapping populations where individuals have been selected to optimize marker map resolution. • Work to date • Effect of selective sampling on crossover distributions • Effect of selective sampling on bias, power, and resolution in QTL mapping • Change of plans from proposal • QTL mapping software tailored to selected samples is not necessary • Manuscript in preparation for Genetical Research

Recombination enrichment and pseudo-interference random selected
Recombination enrichment Fixed marker spacing = 10 cM Fixed map length=1000 cM map lgth marker spacing RE= # of crossovers in selected sample / # of crossovers in random sample
Predicting recombination enrichment Empirical formula: L = map length in cM f = sample fraction pop A R2 RI 500 0.965 BRI 750 0.976 DH 1200 0.983
Pseudo-interference and map functions • Translates between the map distance (in cM) and the expected frequency of crossovers between two points • Haldane map function: no interference • Karlin map function: allows variable interference • When N>5, rK ~ rH
Pseudointerference is very minor L=100 cM L=500 cM L=2500 cM L=1000 cM
Significance of findings • Since • We can predict RE very accurately and easily from the experimental design • Pseudointerference is minimal for realistic values of RE • We can use standard QTL mapping methods for selected samples once we have multiplied map distances by the RE factor. • No need for specialized software
Do selected samples have better QTL resolution? A simulation study • Variables • Population type (RI, BRI, DH) • Map length • Marker spacing (always even) • Sample fraction (optimized for expected bin lgth) • Genetic effects • Additive ~ Gamma(1,2) • Dominance ~ Beta(1,1) • Pairwise epistasis (when >1 QTL) • QTL analysis • Marker regression (QTL Cartographer)
QTL detection power • Reduced in a selected sample in proportion to distance between marker and QTL • Experimental design • 5 QTL • Map length 1000 cM • Base population 500 • Sample fraction 0.2
QTL resolution • Resolution increases with recombination enrichment • Resolution here measured as width of 95% confidence interval (cM) • Experimental design • 1 QTL • Map length 100 cM • Base population 500 • Sample fraction 0.1

Summary of findings:QTL mapping methodology • Selection can result in substantial RE with only minor pseudointerference • Corrected map distances can be obtained using a simple formula for RE (which will depend on the experimental design) • Currently available QTL mapping methods are appropriate for analysis of selected samples. • Selected samples • Have increased QTL mapping resolution (relative to random ones) • Do not bias estimates of QTL position or effect size
