1. About PanOat
PanOat is a pan-genome project for oat. Several labs from around the world are working towards constructing and analysing annotated chromosome-scale reference genome sequences for 29 diverse oat genotypes.
PanOat focusses mainly on hexaploid Avena sativa, but also includes diploid and tetraploid Avena progenitors and relatives.
The analysis goals of PanOat include:
-
characterization of core gene sets,
-
identifying lineage-specific genes,
-
cataloguing structural variation in wild and domesticated oats,
-
accumulating comparative sequence information for use in agronomic and quality trait mapping,
-
evolutionary genomic analyses to understand the origin and evolution of oat.
The project is coordinated by Martin Mascher.
