Cotton transposon-related variome reveals roles of transposon-related variations in modern cotton cultivation.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Transposon plays a vital role in cotton genome evolution, contributing to the expansion and divergence of genomes within the Gossypium genus. However, knowledge of transposon activity in modern cotton cultivation is limited.

Objectives

In this study, we aimed to construct transposon-related variome within Gossypium genus and reveal role of transposon-related variations during cotton cultivation. In addition, we try to identify valuable transposon-related variations for cotton breeding.

Methods

We utilized graphical genome construction to build up the graphical transposon-related variome. Based on the graphical variome, we integrated t-test, eQTL analysis and Mendelian Randomization (MR) to identify valuable transposon activities and elite genes. In additi
