EXTENDED NOMINATION DEADLINE 15 Oct 2010 We are seeking nominations of individuals to serve for a three-year term on the U.S. Genomics, Genetics, and Breeding Executive Committee (RosEXEC). There are five open seats on the 15 member Committee and 2 open seats for international liaisons. While we do have six individuals nominated already, we would like to receive at least another six nominations. Please consider nominating a colleague you believe would contribute to supporting the mission of RosEXEC: * *****Serve as a communication and coordination focal point for the U.S. 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. Nomination of candidates who have not previously served on the RosEXEC and representatives of industry are encouraged. Members who will continue to serve in 2010 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), Eric van de Weg (Europe). Remaining members through 2012 are Herman Silva (South America) and David Chagne (Aus/NZ). Two new members are needed to serve two year terms and we are seeking at least one to be in Europe. Prior to nomination, the nominator is required to contact the nominee and confirm 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. Send nominations to Jim McFerson (mcferson(a)treefruitresearch.com), Chair of the RosEXEC membership committee, by 15 Oct 2010. Nominees will then be contacted by the membership committee and asked to provide a brief bio and vision statement. The community-wide election will be managed by the Genome Database for the Rosaceae (GDR) and held via internet from 25 Oct-19 Nov 2010. The next meeting of RosEXEC will be on 16 Jan 2011 in conjunction with the PAG Conference, San Diego CA.

RCG5 student funding support enquiry

by Main, Doreen

Dear US Based Rosaceae Researchers, We would like to compile a list of potential student applicants who would like to attend RCG5 if they had some financial support. If you have any students who fit this category and would present a poster or talk, could you send us the following information about them so we can submit it to the NSF in support of our application for funding. NAME of STUDENT: GENDER: ETHNICITY: ORGANISATION: AREA of RESEARCH: SUPERVISOR NAME: Many Thanks Dorrie Main and Bryon Sosinski Dorrie Main, PhD Associate Professor of Bioinformatics Dept of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Washington State University 45 Johnson Hall, Pullman, WA 99164-6414 Email: dorrie(a)wsu.edu Tel: (509) 335 2774 Fax: (509) 335 8690 URL: www.bioinfo.wsu.edu <http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/>

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.

Rosaceae SNP Summit Information

by Main, Doreen

A Rosaceae community SNP Summit will be held at the Wallenberg Centre, Stellenbosch University in Stellenbosch, Cape Town, South Africa, on the 13th and 14th of November 2010. This will be immediately prior to the 5th International Rosaceae Genomics Conference to be held on the 14-17th of November 2010 at the same location. At the SNP Summit, hosted by the USDA NIFA funded RosBREED project (www.rosbreed.org <http://www.rosbreed.org/> ), RosBREED participants and other interested community members will decide on the best SNP genotyping platform to conduct genome scans within Rosaceae (apple, peach, cherry and strawberry) and select the sequences to be included on the platform. If you are interested in attending the SNP summit, please contact Dorrie Main (RosBREED Genomics Team Leader at dorrie(a)bioinfo.wsu.edu <mailto:dorrie@bioinfo.wsu.edu> . For more information on the RosBREED project, see www.rosbreed.org <http://www.rosbreed.org/> For more information on RGC5, see http://www.rgc5.co.za/ <http://www.rgc5.co.za/> Best Regards Dorrie Dorrie Main, PhD Associate Professor of Bioinformatics Dept of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture Washington State University 45 Johnson Hall, Pullman, WA 99164-6414 Email: dorrie(a)wsu.edu Tel: (509) 335 2774 Fax: (509) 335 8690 URL: www.bioinfo.wsu.edu <http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/>

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. We will be sending out a newsletter about GDR very soon.
