Dear colleagues,
the Julius Kühn-Institut (JKI), Institute for Breeding Research on Fruit Cops (ZO) in Dresden-Pillnitz (Germany) is currently developing a 50 k Axiom® SNP array for apple. JKI is the Federal Research Centre for Cultivated Plants in Germany and belongs to the Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture. In agreement with the ministry, ZO is responsible for coordinating the activities on preservation of fruit genetic resources. Genotyping as a tool to improve the preservation efficiency (e.g. identification of duplicates, synonyms, homonyms) is therefore one of our tasks. Based on a multi-year discussion with the ministry and the advisory board of our national genebank network we got the order to develop an optimized SNP array useful for genotyping of the German apple collection (DGO) and other applications like GWAS. Making this array useful for the whole apple community is of high priority for us. Therefore, we initiated a discussion with international partners and ThermoFisher (array producer) and TraitGenetics (genotyping service provider) to support the development. Based on this discussion the new array should fulfill the following demands:
§ Results should be (at least to high content) comparable to results obtained with the Illumina 20k SNP array1 and the 480k Axiom® array2.
§ New reliable SNPs linked to specific traits or SNPs should be added to improve the evenly coverage of SNPs on all LGs and to fill existing gaps. The distribution of SNPs will be determined on both the GDDH133 genome sequence as well as the HFTH14 genome sequence.
§ If possible, SNPs markers specific for e.g. Malus sieversii and M. sylvestris should be added to allow the identification of wild species introgressions.
JKI would be happy if you would agree to provide data/SNPs that could be useful for the new array. The array should be produced until the end of 2020 and later on commercially available for the whole apple community via ThermoFisher.
JKI would appreciate your support and input very much.
Do not hesitate to ask for more information. Contact details are:

Hi Folks,
Please find attached the agenda for Sunday's open to all annual RosEXEC/RosIGI meeting and the minutes from the last meeting.
The meeting will be held Sunday 10 to Noon in the Tower Room of the Handerley Hotel (shuttles provided from the Town and Country, or it's about an 8 min walk).
Zoom access is available (see below).
P.s. I will send out the GDR report later today. Please note, the RosEXEC elections will be held later this month, after PAG.
Cheers
Dorrie

Hi All,
An 'International Strawberry Genomics' meeting (which is open to everyone)
will be held on Monday, January 13th at 1pm in the Balboa Room at Handlery
Hotel (950 Hotel Circle North, San Diego). The goal of this meeting is to
discuss ongoing efforts in strawberry genomics, establish new
collaborations, and make any other announcements to the community.
Unfortunately the primary venue Town & Country hotel is undergoing
extensive renovation, and so quite a few events have been moved to the
nearby Handlery Hotel complex. A regular shuttle bus service will be
provided or is roughly a 300 yard walk from the conference center.
Please also note that we have this room on condition that “outside food &
beverages are not permitted – failure to comply will result in a penalty
fine".
Best,
Patrick Edger

Hi Chris,
Thank you for the nomination, however I am currently sitting on the RosExec committee as an industry resource. If I'm not mistaken, I think I have 1 year of service left.
Perhaps you are suggesting a re-nomination? Please clarify.
Kindly,
Ellen
