User Story 1 – Identifying virus resistant PGRs using Pretzel

Overview of Key Steps To Visualise Results in Pretzel

  1. Project genetic map QTL into Cameor v1 genome assembly

  2. Integrate genes and KASP markers

  3. Identify sbm-1 gene with BLAST search

  4. Examine WGS genotypes around the sbm-1 gene to identify haplotype shared by resistant accessions

  5. Identify Multispecies Pulse 30K SNP array marker(s) that tag the haplotype

  6. Examine PGRs from the AGG using the identified marker(s) to identify PGRs likely carrying the PSbMV resistance allele

Invert the orientation of the axis

In the centre view click on the title of the axis at the top

Kaspa x Yarrum : Ps IV

This will bring up the axis title menu on screen. Click the middle button to invert the orientation of the axis enter image description here To close this box press the top right "x" button enter image description here

(Optional) Display the position and name of QTL

On the left axis locate the 3 boxes and click on one of them enter image description here An arrow should appear on left of the axis and click the arrow to bring the up name enter image description here

(Optional) Resize the display

Navigate to the 'View' tab, scroll down till you find the slider titled 'Outside Axis Margin' and reduce this value to increase the distance between axes in the visualisation

Displaying features within the axis

In the centre view click on the title of the right axis at the top to bring up the same menu from earlier. This time, click on the right most button to display features. Then close it using the same "x" button in the top right hand corner.

Scroll down even further and select

Field pea reference genome (Cameor v1)

enter image description here

This will then make the search button clickable and then press the search button.

enter image description here

Scroll up and a new tab will appear in the DNA Sequence Blast Search titled "Blast output". Click the tab to display the results (they may take some time to arrive). Clicking the button at the top of the table will maximise the table.

enter image description here

(optional) Inspect BLAST results

Full details of the BLAST results are shown in the table. Control the hits shown in the view by checking/unchecking the view column.

Load genome assembly gene annotation

In the Explorer tab, find

Field pea reference genome annotation (Cameor v1)

and select

Load whole genome sequence (WGS) based SNP data from resistant and susceptible accessions

In the Explorer tab, find

Field pea WGS genotype data for resistant and susceptible accessions

and select

chr1LG6
