Sb bicolor IS3614-3 Assembly and Gene Annotation
About Sorghum bicolor ssp. bicolor IS 3614-3
IS 3614-3 is one of three selections made within the variation exhibited by IS 3614 when the introduction was grown in Australia.
IS 3614 is a landrace of Sorghum bicolor called Akooil, also designated BE 13. It was collected from the Zaria province (11.039999, 7.42/ in Nigeria. It belongs to the guinea race and the informal intra-racial taxon conspicuum. Selection IS 3614-3 has been used as the donor parent in a BCNAM population in the core Australian program.
Assembly
The genome assembly of Sorghum IS 3614-3 was reported in Tao et al. Sequencing was conducted by the Australia Sorghum breeding team in collaboration with BGI-Shenzhen using Illumina HiSeq 4000 platform and the PacBio Sequel platform to achieve 172X and 44X coverage, respectively. The assembly effort generated a genome of 631Mb with contigs N50 of 253.5kb.
Annotation
Gene prediction was performed using a hybrid approach combining de novo gene predictors and evidence-based methods (Tao et al, 2021), which led to the identification of 34,366 genes in the genome.
