Confirm chromosomal rearrangements: Lens spp. using Oligo-FISH
Overview
Physically attest to the proper assignment of scaffolds to chromosomes in Lens species genome assembly.
Physically confirm the predicted rearrangements between the cultivated Lens culinaris and wild relatives.
The Oligo-FISH (Fluorescent in situ hybridization) probes were designed based on the synteny of Lens culinaris CDC Redberry genome (Lcu.2RBY), against the wild Lens genome assemblies aiming to confirm most of the rearrangements between those genomes physically (using bedtools instersect). Probe locations in Lcu.2RBY were selected to maximize the number of rearrangements that could be confirmed against all wild Lens genomes. Arbor Biosciences designed and synthesized the probes using Lcu.2RBY. The genome assembly was divided into oligo-sequences of at least 45 nucleotides in length. These sequences were filtered for desired location, specificity, melting temperature, and sequence conservation relative to the wild Lens assemblies (using BlastN). Two different oligo pools were generated and labeled with different colours – green and red. The in silico location of these probes in each Lens species assembly (peak enrichment) was used to predict the physical (in situ) location of the probes during FISH. The combination of the oligo-pools/colours gives a specific pattern (also called barcode) for each Lcu.2RBY and wild Lens chromosomes. When this pattern differs from the reference (Lcu.2RBY), it confirms a rearrangement in the compared wild species.

Probe-enriched Regions across Lcu.2RBY Chromosomes
The following table lists the genome assemblies for which the Oligo-FISH probes were designed based on synteny with the Lens culinaris CDC Redberry genome (Lcu.2RBY). The pre-selected tracks in JBrowse reveal the in silico location of the red and green probes on the assembly; one in which all probes are combined in the track (red, green, and across all Lcu.2RBY chromosomes), and one which is distinguished by the Lcu.2RBY chromosome the probe lies on, as well as red and green. Probe-enriched regions appear as peaks in the plot, predicting the physical (in situ) location of the probes during FISH, thus inferring rearrangements compared with the Lcu.2RBY assembly.
