1 SNP discovery from amphidiploid species and transferability across the Brassicaceae Jacqueline Batley University of Queensland, Australia 1

2 Outline Objectives Brassicas Genome Sequencing SNP discovery SNP validation Cross species transferability Application Future work 2

3 Objectives Development of bioinformatics tool for SNP discovery and annotation Establish cost effective discovery and validation of SNPs within the amphidiploid B. napus Assess association of SNPs with genes for agronomic traits Assess the extent of LD within B. napus Assess genetic diversity of important agronomic genes within cultivated Brassica spp. and wild relatives Establish a strategy for SNP discovery from other large and complex genomes. 3

4 Methodology Paired end sequence from parents of mapping populations SNP discovery Genotyping using golden gate and infiunium assays SNPs genetically and physically mapped Cross species amplification to other Brassicaceae members 4

5 Brassicas

6 Diversity genomics Characterising genomic and phenotypic diversity in cultivated and wild plant species and their pathogens Brassicaceae, Leptosphaeria maculans Investigating genetic variation in crops and wild relatives Investigating the evolution of plant pathogen interactions Identifying novel genes and genetic markers for traits of interest, such as disease resistance 6

7 Genetic diversity Germplasm collections are valuable gene pools Assessing genetic and genomic diversity within these collections: assign lines and populations to diverse groups study the evolutionary history of wild relatives verify pedigrees and fill in the gaps in incomplete pedigree or selection history monitor changes in allele frequencies in cultivars or populations help narrow the search for new alleles at loci of interest. 7

8 Domestication bottlenecks B. napus canola, B.juncea mustard and B. carinata are allopolyploids. Rare natural polyploids only incorporate a limited genetic diversity from progenitor diploids. Wide genetic diversity in B. rapa, B. nigra, B. oleracea progenitors and wild relatives, options to enhance canola and mustard. A range of strategies is available to realise the genetic potential of the Brassicaceae. 8

9 Sequence data Illumina GAIIx and Hi-Seq data for: 8 B. napus cultivars 2 B. rapa cultivars B. oleracea 3 Brassicaceae Funding for 100+ Brassicas 9

10 Brassica genome sequencing B. rapa ssp. Pekinensis var. Chiifu 10 chromosomes, ~550 Mbp Multinational Brassica genome sequencing committee originally agreed BAC by BAC sequencing approach >100,000 BAC end sequences >600 BACs sequenced Genome sequenced using Illumina GAIIx 10

11 B. rapa SNP discovery and genotyping Illumina paired end sequence from parents of mapping populations SNP discovery Genotyping using golden gate Physical mapping Cross species amplification to other Brassicaceae members 11

21 B. napus SNP discovery Custom algorithm developed for SNP discovery from Illumina data for amphidiploid species Distinguish between inter and intra genomic SNPs

22 The SGSautoSNP algorithm We do not consider the reference in SNP discovery the reference is only used to bring the reads together SNPs are called from these reads => different to most other SNP callers 1. coverage must be at least 4 2. SNP score must be at least 2 Example: SP1 = 6*A AP1 = 1*G M2P = 1*G SNP score = 2 3. no conflict within a variety i.e. all bases in each cultivar must be the same if e.g. Junior 3 * A and 1 * T => conflict 22

41 Sym genes Brassicas can not form symbiotic associations with rhizobia or mycorrhizae - BUT - contain homologues for many genes involved in these processes. What is the diversity of and selection pressure on these genes across the Brassicaceae? What are these proteins doing? general pathogen/microbial perception and response? e.g. LjNUP85, LjNUP133 Tagdb results e.g. NFR1 NFR5 9 Arabidopsis homologues e.g. LjPOLLUX Ferguson et al., 2010
