SHAPE: Barley cv. Morex CLR assembly. Morex CLR assembly

The SHAPE project aims at unraveling the complexity of the barley Pan-Genome (the sum of (i) the core-genome shared in all barley haplotypes and the (ii) dispensable part of the genome found only individual haplotypes). This includes generating additional reference quality genome assemblies and using different NGS-based approaches to monitor small to large scale structural variation and combine with other publicly available sources of barley genome diversity in a high density variation matrix, which will then be tested for its relevance in barley genomic selection breeding programs. A reference genome assembly of barley cv. Morex. The initial contig assembly was generated using PacBio CLR reads using MECAT and subsequently polished using QUIVER. The contigs were arranged into pseudomolecules using TRITEX pipeline (https://tritexassembly.bitbucket.io) with Hi-C data.
