Sb bicolor PI525695 Kinto Oule Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Sorghum PI525695

PI525695 is a landrace of Sorghum bicolor collected at Faraba village (12.399999, -9.5), Koulikoro province in Mali. Its name is Kinto Oule and alternate identifiers are IS 25806 and SG 4767 (IBPGR). It is considered to belong to the margaritiferum group, previously considered a sub-race of the guinea race, now considered a separate domestication.

Assembly

The genome assembly of Sorghum PI525695 was reported in Tao et al, 2021. 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 160X and 35X coverage, respectively. The assembly effort generated a genome of 468.1Mb with contigs N50 of 139.4kb.

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 33,840 genes in the genome.
