  • P5-build genome assembly

    Im having troubles understanding what a P5-build genome assembly or a fifth genome build means. Could anyone clarify this for me?
    In general Im not really understanding well this whole thing:

    The combined total length of the assembly (a fifth genome build or P5-build) is 1.535 Gb. Comparison of the P5-build to genetic linkage maps (Supplementary Fig. 4 and Methods) resulted in 16 genetic scaffolds (one per chromosome; 43% of the P5 scaffold assembly) for a final total of 40,072 scaffolds with an N50 (the scaffold size above which 50% of the total length of the sequence assembly can be found) of 1.27 megabases (Mb) (Supplemen- tary Table 4) and 74% of RefSeq supported genes.

    Anything anyone can recommend to read?
    Thanks,
    Tatiana

    I would say that "P5" is just the version number of the palm genome. The initial draft genome was probably P1. Including sequences from BAC libraries may have resulted in the second version of the genome assembly (P2), including linkage map info resulted in P3, etc.

      Understanding Genetic Influence on Infectious Disease
      by seqadmin




      During the COVID-19 pandemic, scientists observed that while some individuals experienced severe illness when infected with SARS-CoV-2, others were barely affected. These disparities left researchers and clinicians wondering what causes the wide variations in response to viral infections and what role genetics plays.

      Jean-Laurent Casanova, M.D., Ph.D., Professor at Rockefeller University, is a leading expert in this crossover between genetics and infectious...

      Addressing Off-Target Effects in CRISPR Technologies
      by seqadmin






      The first FDA-approved CRISPR-based therapy marked the transition of therapeutic gene editing from a dream to reality1. CRISPR technologies have streamlined gene editing, and CRISPR screens have become an important approach for identifying genes involved in disease processes2. This technique introduces targeted mutations across numerous genes, enabling large-scale identification of gene functions, interactions, and pathways3. Identifying the full range...
