About bread wheat genome

Monday, December 17th, 2012

QT:”
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally important crop, accounting for 20 per cent of the calories consumed by humans….Here we report the sequencing of its large, 17-gigabase-pair, hexaploid genome using 454 pyrosequencing, and comparison of this with the sequences of diploid ancestral and progenitor genomes. We identified between 94,000 and 96,000 genes.

Epigenetic priors for identifying active transcription factor binding sites. Cuellar-Partida G, Buske FA, McLeay RC, Whitington T, Noble WS, Bailey TL.

Score (posterior, at position i in the genome) = PWM for TF t at position i + priors at i (H3K4me + Dnase), gets 60% sens. at FPR of 1% averaged over all i & t, using essentially equal weighting on each functional genomics track. One issue here is because of the huge size of the genome the 1% FPR actually turns into a very low PPV, giving 5 FPs for each TP in practice.
