GenomeZipper Report
The GenomeZipper uses a novel approach that incorporates
chromosome sorting, second generation sequencing, array
hybridization and systematic exploitation of conserved
synteny with model grasses. It allows to assign 72% of the
estimated 31,008 rye genes to individual chromosomes. The
constructed 'zippers' integrate gene indices of rice,
sorghum and Brachypodium in a conserved synteny
model and assemble 22,426 rye genes in a putative linear
order. The GenomeZipper files provide a linear ordered,
information-rich scaffold of the rye genome.
Furthermore our results revealed a heterogeneous
composition of the rye genome that could be the result of
introgressive hybridization and/or several
allopolyploidization events.
The Rye GenomeZipper can be downloaded as Excel sheet or can be accessed via the web-based data overview for the individual results for each chromosome and search interface.
