2 Toulouse: a unique place for sunflower genetics and genomics A lot of facilities available for phenotyping, physiology, genomics, bioinformatics, microscopy Major sunflower seed companies (Syngenta Seeds, Pionneer, Biogemma, SOLTIS, Maïsadour ) are located arround Toulouse INRA National Seeds Ressources Center Three main topics in our team : water stress tolerance, broomrape resistance, downy mildew resitance. 2 Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 2

3 Sunflower (Helianthus annuus) history XXth century: modern breeding XVIIIth century: begin of the sunflower breeding in Russia years before JC: domestication XVIth century: imported by spanish in Europe. Sunflower oil has been successfull because of the orthodox christianism. Sunflower oil was the only one allowed to be consumed during Lent.

4 Diversity in cultivated sunflower lines Very few diversity in the elite lines due to breeding. Introgression from wild Elite lines Cadic et al., 2013 Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 4

8 Molecular characterization of the 72 parental lines Goal: identification of SNPs in the 72 parental lines to deduce the genotypes in the 471 hyrids for association mapping analysis SNPs have been identified by resequencing experiments and by mapping data on the available sunflower genome sequence The sunflower genome: Diploid with 2n = 17 chromosome pairs 3.6Gb Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 8

9 Assembly of the XRQ sunflower line genome obtained by INRA 127X depth of HiSeq sequences used PE and MP sequences (300, 2300, 6700, 18500) NUM MIN 250 MAX N50 BP N50 NUM MEAN 1888 MEDIAN 392 BP ========================= NUM-noN MIN-noN 250 MAX-noN N50 BP-noN 9402 N50 NUM-noN MEAN-noN 1545 MEDIAN-noN 392 BP-noN % of the genome Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 9

10 Use of the XRQ assembly to identify SNPs from resequencing experiments 1 lane of HiSeq (2x100nt)/sunflower line Total sequences produced (Q30) : Gb (727 X the sunflower genome size) Mean depth: 10,1X %GC: 38 Combination of bwa; mpileup, varscan: SNPs identified on genomic scaffolds But SNPs are not exhaustive AND no structural variations have been identified Sunflower genome sequence need to be improved! Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 10

11 The international consortium for the sunflower genome initiative (HA412 sunflower line) Coordinated by Loren Rieseberg (University of British Columbia, Canada) Obtained by combining 454 and HiSeq data, togethers with an hightroughput genetic map and a physical map (BAC clones finger printing) A good assembly. But difficult to improve (due to the repeated sequences) NUM 21 MIN 9814 MAX N50 BP N50 NUM 8 MEAN MEDIAN BP ========================= NUM-noN 21 MIN-noN 9814 MAX-noN N50 BP-noN N50 NUM-noN 7 MEAN-noN MEDIAN-noN BP-noN % of the genome Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 11

12 Number of hits Why is it so difficult to assemble the sunflower genome? Analysis of the composition ot the LTR retrotransposons with LTRharvest (D. Ellinghaus et al. 2008, default parameters) 30% of the sunflower genome sequence is composed of LTR retrotransposons. 8.8% of the human genome. And the repeats are highly conserved in sunflower. Length of LTR retrotransposons (nt) There is a lot of repeated sequences in the sunflower genome. They are large (9-12kb) and highly conserved. For de novo assembly: it is important to have very long reads that fully cross the length of the repeats. Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 12

13 Why PacBio sequencing could help to improve the sunflower genome assembly? 1.Jerôme gouzy et al. obtained very good results on other organisms (bacteria and fungi) 2. In map-based cloning projects on sunflower: BAC clones sequencing has been greatly improved thanks to PacBio sequencing (coll. LIPM-CNRGV). We obtained systematically only one contig without any N, even by mixing several overlapping BAC clones. We decided to improve the sunflower genome assembly of the XRQ line by sequencing it at 100X depth with PacBio sequences only. Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 13

14 First PacBio sequencing machine has been installed in France by the end of march 2015 It is located in the GeT-PlaGe platform (INRA-Toulouse) Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 14

20 Sunflower genome assembly evolution according to PacBio sequecing depth Effect of CR2 correction strategy with only 18X depth and 2 days of computation (PBcR 8.3rc1), we obtained an assembly with metrics similar to the previous assembly obtained with 127X of HiSeq data Coverage of the genome and N50 of the contigs increase with the depth of the raw data. Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 20

21 Assembly with full data set (102X) Once the raw data (102X) are corrected, the assembly metrics seem very good! #ctg MAX N50 BP # > N50 MEDIAN Gb M 498 kb kb % of the sunflower genome is covered Better assembly than ever! The coverage is twice the one obtained with 127X of HiSeq Data (4 sisings of PE and MP) 3Gb of sequences with non, only contig with almost 500kb for the N50. Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 21

22 Does the assembly contain the gene content? We have obtained a reference transcriptome from the same XRQ sunflower line that can be accessed using this web link: efp browser Jérôme Gouzy, Sébastien Carrère, Nicolas Langlade (LIPM, INRA-Toulouse) Barcelona, November 10th th EMEA User Group Meeting 22

23 Does the genome assembly contain the gene content? The gene space is almost complete: 98% of the cdnas from the reference transcriptome can be fully (gmap) Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 23

24 What s next to obtain a sequence of the 17 sunflower chromosomes sequences of the nuclear genome? Several hightroughput genetic maps and the physical map (finger printing of the BAC clones) will be used to produce the 17 pseudomolecules of the nuclear genome. We are confident that we should be able to anchor 90% of the PacBio contigs. Chris Grassa (INRA): Chris.Grassa@toulouse.inra.fr This sequence is expected for the end of 2015 But the task is not easy because of the repeats and we already know that a part of the contigs are chimeric. Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 24

25 Accuracy of the assembly is our priority We want the sunflower genome sequence to be accurate and reliable. Metrics of an assembly are one thing, accuracy is another! And the quality of the genome sequence is important for genetics and breeding! Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 25

26 Conclusions Using PacBio sequences only, we have improved the coverage of the sunflower genome: from 43% (127X HiSeq) to 84% (102X PacBio) and the size of the contigs have been highly increased. The softwares (smrtanalysis from PacBio or PBcR) are «easy» to use and efficient for small or simple genomes. But for complex genomes, it is difficult. It should be easier with more longer sequences (majority of sequences >30kb or 40kb are needed)! Toulouse, 12 et 13 novembre th EMEA User Group Meeting 26
