Improved reference genome for the domestic horse increases assembly contiguity and composition.

Abstract: Recent advances in genomic sequencing technology and computational assembly methods have allowed scientists to improve reference genome assemblies in terms of contiguity and composition. EquCab2, a reference genome for the domestic horse, was released in 2007. Although of equal or better quality compared to other first-generation Sanger assemblies, it had many of the shortcomings common to them. In 2014, the equine genomics research community began a project to improve the reference sequence for the horse, building upon the solid foundation of EquCab2 and incorporating new short-read data, long-read data, and proximity ligation data. Here, we present EquCab3. The count of non-N bases in the incorporated chromosomes is improved from 2.33 Gb in EquCab2 to 2.41 Gb in EquCab3. Contiguity has also been improved nearly 40-fold with a contig N50 of 4.5 Mb and scaffold contiguity enhanced to where all but one of the 32 chromosomes is comprised of a single scaffold.

Summary

This research summary has been generated with artificial intelligence and may contain errors and omissions. Refer to the original study to confirm details provided. Submit correction.

The research article presents an improved reference genome for domestic horses called EquCab3, which provides a more contiguous and comprehensive genetic map than the previous version, EquCab2.

Background

  • The genomic reference for domestic horses, EquCab2, was introduced in 2007. Despite being of good quality, it had several limitations typically seen in first-generation Sanger assemblies.
  • In 2014, the equine genomics research community initiated a project to enhance the horse’s reference sequence. Their aim was to build on the robust foundation of EquCab2 by integrating new short-read data, long-read data, and proximity ligation data.

Introduction of EquCab3

  • The researchers created EquCab3, an advanced reference genome for domestic horses that provides higher assembly contiguity and composition.
  • The count of non-N bases in the incorporated chromosomes in EquCab3 is 2.41 Gb, up from 2.33 Gb in EquCab2, indicating an increased genetic map coverage.

Improved Contiguity

  • The researchers enhanced the contiguity nearly 40-fold, with a contig N50 of 4.5 Mb. The term “contig N50” is a statistical measure of the average length of a set of sequences (contigs).
  • Scaffold contiguity was also increased to the extent that all but one of the 32 chromosomes is made up of a single scaffold. Scaffolds are sets of overlapping DNA pieces that together represent a consensus region of DNA

Significance of the Study

  • This research will significantly benefit the field of equine genomics by providing a more accurate, complete, and usable genomic reference for the domestic horse.
  • The enhanced genome map can be instrumental for biological research and practical applications ranging from evolutionary studies to equine health management.
