About Vitis vinifera
Vitis vinifera is the most widely cultivated and economically important grape species. It has a diploid genome with haploid chromosome number of 19, and an estimated genome size of 500 Mbase.
Genome Sequencing and Gene Prediction (release IGGP)
This release is based on a 12x whole genome shotgun sequence assembly and the V1 annotation of the Vitis vinifera genome. These data were prepared by a French-Italian Public Consortium for Grapevine Genome Characterization under the auspices of the International Grape Genome Program (IGGP). Further details of the sequencing and assembly are available from Genoscope.
Gramene/Ensembl Genomes Annotation
Additional annotations generated by the Gramene/Ensembl Genomes projects include:
- The standard set of Gramene analyses detailed here.
- Mapping to the genome of multiple sequence-based feature sets.
- Phylogenetic gene trees and whole-genome alignments with several plant and metazoan species, using the Ensembl Compara pipeline.
- Single nucleotide polymorphisms identified by re-sequencing a collection of grape cultivars and wild Vitis species from the USDA germplasm collection. (Myles et al. 2010)
- Probes from the GeneChip Vitis vinifera Genome Array were imported to the Ensembl functional genomics scheama
This release of the assembly (IGGP 12X) for Vitis vinifera is composed of 2059 scaffolds with a total length of 485 Mb assembled into 33 chromosomes and chromosomal fragments with a total length of 486 Mb
- 33 chromosomes and chromosomal fragments with a total length of 486 Mb
- 2059 scaffolds with a total length of 485 Mb
