This study presents Triti-Map, a computational package and web interface specifically designed for gene mapping in Triticeae. The authors successfully located a wheat disease-resistance gene and clarified its evolutionary process using Triti-Map. This tool has the potential to facilitate gene isolation and accelerate Triticeae breeding.
Triticeae species, including wheat, barley, and rye, are critical for global food security. Mapping agronomically important genes is crucial for elucidating molecular mechanisms and improving crops. However, Triticeae includes many wild relatives with desirable agronomic traits, and frequent introgressions occurred during Triticeae evolution and domestication. Thus, Triticeae genomes are generally large and complex, making the localization of genes or functional elements that control agronomic traits challenging. Here, we developed Triti-Map, which contains a suite of user-friendly computational packages specifically designed and optimized to overcome the obstacles of gene mapping in Triticeae, as well as a web interface integrating multi-omics data from Triticeae for the efficient mining of genes or functional elements that control particular traits. The Triti-Map pipeline accepts both DNA and RNA bulk-segregated sequencing data as well as traditional QTL data as inputs for locating genes and elucidating their functions. We illustrate the usage of Triti-Map with a combination of bulk-segregated ChIP-seq data to detect a wheat disease-resistance gene with its promoter sequence that is absent from the reference genome and clarify its evolutionary process. We hope that Triti-Map will facilitate gene isolation and accelerate Triticeae breeding.
