Approximately 6,000 peach SNPs were selected at UC Davis for two breeding populations: Pop DF ('Dr. Davis' × 'F8, 1-42') and Pop DG ('Dr. Davis' × 'Georgia Belle'). These SNPs are now available for viewing in GBrowse as well as an Excel spreadsheet available on the peach genome project page<http://www.rosaceae.org/node/355>.

The Malus x domestica genome v1.0 pseudo haplotype assemblies are a set of four different assemblies (primary and alternates 1, 2 and 3) derived from the contigs of the original v1.0 assembly. These pseudo haplotypes are intended to divde overlapping contigs in the original assembly into four different consensus sequences representing the four different haplotypes present in the apple genome. However, these assemblies are not true haplotypes, hence the name "pseudo haplotypes". Currently, only the primary pseudo haplotype assembly is available on GDR. Gaps of 200,000 N's were used to space scaffolds in the assembly. These pseudo haplotype assembles were constructed at the Instituo<http://www.iasma.it/> <http://www.iasma.it/> Agrario Di San Michelle <http://www.iasma.it/> All'Adige in collaboration with the NCBI<http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.go/>.

The U.S. Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC) will be meeting at the PAG XX conference on Sunday, 15Jan in the Dover Meeting Room (not our usual location) from 8:00-10:00 am PST. It will be followed by a meeting of the Rosaceae International Genomics Initiative (RosIGI) from 10-noon. Both meetings are open to all who are interested in attending.
An agenda for the RosEXEC meeting is attached.
If you are interested in participating via skype, please email Chris Dardick (mailto:chris.dardick@ars.usda.gov) in case contact information changes.
Hope to see you at PAG,
