  4. Estimating Genome Size • From Assemblies • From k-mer counts

    – 108 – 144 Mb Isolate assembly size (Mb) C-strain 52.5 Lodi 49.8 Ranch9 49.5 Branching 50.7 e1-101 50 Data from Jones et al, 2014
  5. Copy Number Variation (CNV) • Unbalanced structural changes • Detecting

    and validating CNV – Depth analyses – qPCR Figure reproduced from Jones et al, 2014
  6. Copy Number Variation (CNV) • Unbalanced structural changes • Detecting

    and validating CNV – Depth analyses – qPCR Figure reproduced from Jones et al, 2014
  7. CNV 4 EnCYP51 • Wide CNV across genomes • Within

    EnCYP51 – Mutations – Treated versus Non-Treated fields – Quantitative Resistance Figure reproduced from Jones et al, 2014
  8. CNV 4 EnCYP51 • Wide CNV across genomes • Within

    EnCYP51 – Mutations – Treated versus Non-Treated fields – Quantitative Resistance • Gene dose-dependent expression pattern Figure reproduced from Jones et al, 2014
  9. Relevance to Crop Management • Mutant allele + CNV for

    EnCYP51 gives rise to quantitative resistance against dimethylase inhibitors. • By measuring the number of gene copies at the field level, fungicide management programs can get a sense of on-going selection and adjust accordingly.
  10. Wine to me is passion. It's family and friends. It's

    warmth of heart and generosity of spirit. Wine is art. It's culture. ~ Robert Mondavi Creative Commons picture by Alex (Ithaca, NY) https://www.flickr.com/photos/eflon/5205675665
