Pyrus pyrifolia Whole Genome v1.0 Assembly & Annotation
Overview
Publication Overview: Aim The Japanese pear (P. pyrifolia) variety ‘Nijisseiki’ is valued for its superior flesh texture, which has led to its use as a breeding parent for most Japanese pear cultivars. However, in the absence of genomic resources for Japanese pear, the parents of the ‘Nijisseiki’ cultivar remain unknown, as does the genetic basis of its favorable texture. The genomes of pear and related species are complex due to ancestral whole genome duplication and high heterozygosity, and long-sequencing technology was used to address this Methods and Results De novo assembly of PacBio Sequel long sequence reads covered 136× of the Japanese pear genome and generated 503.9 Mb contigs consisting of 114 sequences with an N50 value of 7.6 Mb. Contigs were assigned to Japanese pear genetic maps to establish 17 chromosome-scale sequences. In total, 44,876 protein-encoding genes were predicted, 84.3% of which were supported by predicted genes and transcriptome data from Japanese pear relatives. Conclusion and Perspective This is the first genome sequence analysis reported for Japanese pear, and this resource will support breeding programs and provide new insights into the physiology and evolutionary history of Japanese pear. External site Homology
Homology of the Pyrus pyrifolia genome v1.0 proteins was determined by pairwise sequence comparison using the blastp algorithm against various protein databases. An expectation value cutoff less than 1e-9 was used for the NCBI nr (Release 2018-05) and 1e-6 for the Arabidoposis proteins (Araport11), UniProtKB/SwissProt (Release 2019-01), and UniProtKB/TrEMBL (Release 2019-01) databases. The best hit reports are available for download in Excel format.

Transcript Alignments
Transcript alignments were performed by the GDR Team of Main Bioinformatics Lab at WSU. The alignment tool 'BLAT' was used to map transcripts to the Pyrus pyrifolia genome assembly. Alignments with an alignment length of 97% and 97% identify were preserved. The available files are in GFF3 format.
