Sb verticilliflorum PI532566 TCD 070 Assembly and Gene Annotation
About Sorghum PI532566
PI532566 is a wild Sorghum bicolor accession from near Moussoro (13.5000, 16.5000) in Kanem province in Chad. It is classified in GRIN as S.bicolor subsp. verticilliflorum. It has been used as a CWR parent in the sorghum CWR BCNAM panel supported by the Global Crop Diversity Trust. Prior to its donation to the USDA collection it was designated TCD070 by IBPGR.
Assembly
The genome assembly of Sorghum PI532566 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 173X and 27X coverage, respectively. The assembly effort generated a genome of 643Mb with contigs N50 of 75.8kb.
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 32,713 genes in the genome.
