Call for nominations to US RosEXEC

by Norelli, Jay

Call for nomination of new members to US Rosaceae Genomics, Genetics and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC): The mission of the RosEXEC is to: · Serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the US Rosaceae genomics, genetics and breeding community. · Define research priorities based on input from the industry and research community. · Facilitate scientific interaction and foster dynamic research teams. · Promote research priorities. · Coordinate educational efforts from the research community to the industry and the public. After 3 years of excellent service the following US members (Chris Dardick, Amit Dhingra, Jim Luby, Cameron Peace and Gayle Volk) are rotating off the RosEXEC committee in January 2011. In 2010, five new RosEXEC members will be elected to a 3 year term to replace them in January 2011. All members of the Rosaceae community are invited to nominate candidates for election. Nomination of candidates who have not previously served on the RosEXEC and representatives of industry are encouraged. Members who will continue to serve in 2011 include Angela Baldo, Jim Hancock, Jim McFerson, Bryon Sosinski, Philip Stewart, Nahla Bassil, John Clark, Kevin Folta, Ksenija Gasic, Amy Iezzoni and Jay Norelli, so no need to nominate them as they will already be serving. International liaison members rotating off this year include Jasper Rees (Africa) and Eric van de Weg (Europe). Remaining members through 2012 are Herman Silva (South America) and David Chagné (Aus/NZ). Two new members are needed to serve two year terms where we are seeking at least one to be in Europe. Please nominate candidates to serve as international liaisons and confirm their interest before submitting your nominations, as described below. Prior to nomination, the nominator is required to contact the nominee and confirm their willingness to serve on RosEXEC. Committee members are expected to participate in quarterly telephone conference meetings and provide several hours of work in support of the RosEXEC mission. Nominations should be sent to Jim McFerson (mcferson(a)treefruitresearch.com <mailto:mcferson@treefruitresearch.com> ) Chair of the RosEXEC membership committee, and/or Jay Norelli (jay.norelli(a)ars.usda.gov <file:///C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\jnorelli\My%20Documents\Administration\Rosaceae%20Community\RosEXEC%20officer\July%208%20meeting\jay.norelli@ars.usda.gov> ) RosEXEC Secretary, by September 1, 2010. Nominees will then be contacted by the membership committee and asked to provide a CV or bio, and a brief vision statement. The community-wide election will be held in November.

Peach Genome Release

by randalls＠bioinfo.wsu.edu

Hi Folks, Great news! The International Peach Genome Initiative (IPGA) has released version 1.0 of the peach genome sequence. Peach v1.0 currently consists of 8 pseudomolecules (the first 8 scaffolds) representing the 8 chromosomes of peach and are numbered according to their corresponding linkage groups (a total of 202 scaffolds were generated). The genome sequencing consisted of approximately 7.7 fold whole genome shotgun sequencing employing the accurate Sanger methodology, and was assembled using Arachne. The assembled peach scaffolds (total of 202) cover nearly 99% of the peach genome, with over 92% having confirmed orientation. To further validate the quality of the assembly, 74,757 Prunus ESTs were queried against the genome at 90% identity and 85% coverage, and we found that only ~2% were missing. This is truly a high quality genome! Gene prediction and annotation, is an ongoing process that may take years to complete, but current estimates indicate that peach has 28,689 transcripts and 27,852 genes. Peach v1.0 was generated from DNA from the doubled haploid cultivar 'Lovell' which means that the genes and intervening DNA is "fixed" or identical for all alleles and both chromosomal copies of the genome. This doubled haploid nature was confirmed by the evaluation of >200 SSRs, and has facilitated a highly accurate and consistent and assembly of the peach genome. For more information about the project and access to the peach genome data and tools go GDR(www.rosaceae.org/peach/genome/ <https://mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.rosaceae.o…> ), JGI (www.phytozome.org/peach/ <https://mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.phytozome.…> ) or the Istituto di Genomica Applicata (http://services.appliedgenomics.org/gbrowse/prunus_public/ <https://mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://services.appli…> ) Cheers The IPGA folks p.s. please note that GDR is now located at www.rosaceae.org <https://mail.cahnrs.wsu.edu/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=https://mail.cahnrs.w…> , you will be redirected from the old GDR site to the new one.
