Unlocking the Barley Genome by Chromosomal and Comparative Genomics[W][OA]

Survey sequence and array hybridization data from flow-sorted barley chromosomes were integrated using a comparative genomics model to define an ordered gene map of the barley genome that contains approximately two-thirds of its estimated 32000 genes. The resulting high-resolution framework facilitated a genome-wide structural analysis of the barley genome and a detailed comparative analysis with wheat. We used a novel approach that incorporated chromosome sorting, next-generation sequencing, array hybridization, and systematic exploitation of conserved synteny with model grasses to assign ~86% of the estimated ~32,000 barley (Hordeum vulgare) genes to individual chromosome arms. Using a series of bioinformatically constructed genome zippers that integrate gene indices of rice (Oryza sativa), sorghum (Sorghum bicolor), and Brachypodium distachyon in a conserved synteny model, we were able to assemble 21,766 barley genes in a putative linear order. We show that the barley (H) genome displays a mosaic of structural similarity to hexaploid bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) A, B, and D subgenomes and that orthologous genes in different grasses exhibit signatures of positive selection in different lineages. We present an ordered, information-rich scaffold of the barley genome that provides a valuable and robust framework for the development of novel strategies in cereal breeding.
