Transcriptomic and presence/absence variation in the barley genome assessed from multi-tissue mRNA sequencing and their power to predict phenotypic traits.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Barley is the world's fourth most cultivated cereal and is an important crop model for genetic studies. One layer of genomic information that remains poorly explored in barley is presence/absence variation (PAV), which has been suggested to contribute to phenotypic variation of agronomic importance in various crops. RESULTS: An mRNA sequencing approach was used to study genomic PAV and transcriptomic...
