  • 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.

      Essential Discoveries and Tools in Epitranscriptomics
      by seqadmin




      The field of epigenetics has traditionally concentrated more on DNA and how changes like methylation and phosphorylation of histones impact gene expression and regulation. However, our increased understanding of RNA modifications and their importance in cellular processes has led to a rise in epitranscriptomics research. “Epitranscriptomics brings together the concepts of epigenetics and gene expression,” explained Adrien Leger, PhD, Principal Research Scientist...

      Current Approaches to Protein Sequencing
      by seqadmin


      Proteins are often described as the workhorses of the cell, and identifying their sequences is key to understanding their role in biological processes and disease. Currently, the most common technique used to determine protein sequences is mass spectrometry. While still a valuable tool, mass spectrometry faces several limitations and requires a highly experienced scientist familiar with the equipment to operate it. Additionally, other proteomic methods, like affinity assays, are constrained...
