PLoS ONE 9, e91172 (2014). 7). Lingaas 13, R73 (2012). XX disorder of sex development is associated with an insertion on chromosome 9 and downregulation of RSPO1 in dogs (Canis lupus familiaris). a missense variation in SOD1 leading to degenerative myelopathy5) through complex genomic rearrangements (e.g. Commun. As per the NCBI total ~2100 to 3141 protein-coding genes, 1.790 non-coding RNA genes and 1,426 pseudogenes are present of chromosome 1. R GridSS79 and Manta80 are assembly-based callers which have been reported to have a good performance in different studies81,82. Genome sequence, comparative analysis and haplotype structure of the domestic dog. JM CAS The dog family Canidae is thought to have diverged from other carnivore families 50 to 60 million years ago. RK Domestic dogs have the same number of chromosomes as coyotes, dingoes, jackals, and . Rice Phased diploid genome assembly with single-molecule real-time sequencing. The order was further confirmed using CanFam3.1 BAC clone (CH82) end sequences. Rine When the genetic basis for an interesting disorder has been established, it is relatively easy to generate large pedigrees segregating the disease due to the large litter size and short generation intervals of the dog. the formation of the spindle. Seppey, M., Manni, M. & Zdobnov, E. M. BUSCO: assessing genome assembly and annotation completeness. Approximately 42.7% of the genome is repetitive sequence, with the three major categories being LINEs (504Mb), SINEs (253Mb) and LTRs (120Mb) (Supplementary Fig. and E.S., C.W., OW, J.R.S.M.

SJ PS b The individual pieces from the reference are plotted as they appear in the alternative haplotig sequence (000151F_042) for Mischka (CNV=3). . Google Scholar. S Each species has a set number of chromosomes arranged in pairs within each cell, but the number of chromosomes can differ between species. SH The bases are paired in fixed units of adenine-thymine (A-T) and guanine-cytosine (G-C). . The recessive b variant causes an X-linked genetic disease. MM chromosome, the microscopic threadlike part of the cell that carries hereditary information in the form of genes. Nash ME Sequencing technology reveals more secrets of canine genes much faster than ever before. C) Each chromosome separates into two daughter chromosomes by binary fission. Chromosomes seem to be thread-like in appearance and are located inside the nucleus of an animal and plant cells. D) All cells contain chromosomes that carry the same genetic information. and S.M. Vila In human clinical genomics, SVs spanning coding and/or noncoding sequence have been responsible for a range of maladies including cardiac anomalies (OMIM 192430) and intellectual delay and autism (OMIM 608636). Nat. 1a). It is often a complex puzzle to solve. GD The consequence of this is the loss of promoters, CpG islands and other regulatory elements from the reference; sequences which may hold the key to deciphering complex traits12,13. This means that, in dogs, chromosome 21 has different functions and carries different genes. Genet. Provided by the Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative. The technique gets right to the heart of the genetic code; deciphering the exact sequence of lettered bases that comprise each gene, and the sequences around and between the genes that assist in regulation. Wong, A. K. et al. P Death of PRDM9 coincides with stabilization of the recombination landscape in the dog genome. A . Mamm. 20, 97 (2019). 1962, 227245 (2019). Dutra A novel canine reference genome resolves genomic architecture and uncovers transcript complexity, https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-01698-x. The current canine reference genome, CanFam3.1, is based on a 2005 7.4 Sanger sequencing framework9, improved in 2014 with multiple methods to better resolve euchromatic regions and annotate transcripts from gross tissues10. G To drive canine comparative genomics forward, we generated a high-quality canine reference assembly using a combination of Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) long read sequencing, 10x Genomics Chromium Linked Reads (henceforth called 10x) and HiC proximity ligation. Chromosomes were first discovered by Strasburger in 1815 and the term 'chromosome' was first used by Waldeyer in 1888. A gene is a functional unit on a chromosome that directs an organism's cells to perform a particular function e.g. The individual dark regions were merged, and the dark fraction for each window was assessed for both ISR and 10x datasets: windows with Fdark>0.9 (90% individuals, in at least 23 ISR dogs or 25 10x dogs) retained as the candidate dark regions. Over more recent timespans, these mobile elements can allow for genome slippage, and to the accumulation of within and across population SVs. Subsequent intersection with protein coding genes showed that 1.4% of these could directly influence gene products, and so provide a source of normal or aberrant phenotypic modifications. DF In the Dog Genome Project we often model our approaches after techniques learned from the Human Genome Project. 12). Manta: rapid detection of structural variants and indels for germline and cancer sequencing applications. 34, 835846 (2004). The 46 . Importation of canine tissues was approved by Jordbruksverket (6.7.18-14513/17). Qcat and pychopper (https://github.com/nanoporetech/) were used to demultiplexed reads and to identify and orient fully sequenced reads. NeuroImage 63, 16811694 (2012). All dogs have 78 chromosomes. your red blood cells carry oxygen around your body using a protein called haemoglobin. 2c) and 35 (Supplementary Fig. Catchen, J., Amores, A. Molin, A.-M., Berglund, J., Webster, M. T. & Lindblad-Toh, K. Genome-wide copy number variant discovery in dogs using the CanineHD genotyping array. The diagrams below show stages of mitosis. We noted six tier1 & 2 COSMIC genes that contained either dark or camouflaged regions (EPHA3, RALGDS, LRP1B, CSMD3, ZMYM2, PTEN; 0.86.6% of coding region hidden), potentially masking drivers of disease. c Intersection of merged dark and camouflaged regions from different datasets.

The result was converted into VCF form using the cnvnator2VCF.pl script from the CNVnator package. Jeffares, D. C. et al. Maldonado K We mapped Illumina short read libraries from a diverse collection of 118 publically available canid genomes to the Li et al. 1a). At the time of this writing, very few of the inherited diseases in dogs have been characterized at the molecular level. a fruit fly has eight chromosomes, a rice plant 24, and a dog 78. Total RNA was extracted from liver and spleen tissues using the AllPrep DNA/RNA/miRNA Universal Kit (Qiagen) according to the manufacturers specification and including on-column DNaseI treatment (Supplementary Data4). The majority of the established synteny groups are correlated with linkage groups so that as more of the linkage groups become fixed to chromosomes, gross comparative gene organization in the dog will rapidly become defined. Public Illumina stranded RNA-seq runs with paired reads of at least 100bp were downloaded from NCBI using the SRA-Explorer (https://sra-explorer.info/). We searched for and merged the genomic windows that reached the threshold from each dog. PubMed Central Many historical sources depict the type of dogs used by peoples such as the ancient Greeks and Romans. All these dogs were homozygous for a R306X MC1R variant shown to be associated with these coat color phenotypes. Cytogenetics is a genetic science that studies the number, structure and function of chromosomes. High molecular weight (HMW) DNA was extracted from blood with MagAttract HMW DNA Kit (Qiagen). Pienkowska Drug Metab. The blue indicates a forward alignment and the red indicates a reverse alignment. Indeed, one of the most exciting possibilities in studying cancer lies in the ability to use genomics to identify mutations and diagnose cancer before it has become a major problem. Using new and sophisticated approaches, talented bioinformaticians can compare genome sequence from large numbers of individuals to find single mutations. Genome-wide association analysis reveals a SOD1 mutation in canine degenerative myelopathy that resembles amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Chader Most genes control more than one function within the dog. Sillero-Zubiri Bioinformatics 32, 12201222 (2016). These are predominately high in GC or repeat content. Much recent interest in dog genetics has resulted from a desire on the part of veterinary scientists to reduce the problem of inherited diseases in pedigree dogs. Article Genome Res. Detection and replication in Boxer. Reads were base called with the high accuracy model in guppy (v3.6 for direct cDNA and v3.3 for amplified samples). M Background Basenjis are considered an ancient dog breed of central African origins that still live and hunt with tribesmen in the African Congo. Synteny of genetic and physical location of markers was further compared with Chromonomer54 v1.0, which showed 207 scaffolds were anchored correctly, but that four had conflicting markers. Nex-generation sequencing was made possible with assistance from the Uppsala Genome Center (PacBio) and the SNP&SEQ Technology Platform (10x Chromium). https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-01698-x, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-021-01698-x.

Genetic variation occurs when "mistakes" are made in the cell's duplication or repair mechanisms that cause a permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of the gene. GD Humans have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs), dogs have 78 chromosomes (39 pairs), cats have 38 chromosomes (19 pairs), and so on. Baumal Reads from the same study and tissue were combined and adaptors were trimmed with BBmap. This novel data open the door to the identification of functional variants underlying complex traits, especially in difficult to sequence, and often biologically important regions. PLoS ONE 11, e0153453 (2016). Jajodia, A. et al. Scripts used in the study are available at the GitHub repository (https://github.com/Chao912/Mischka/).
