Refinement of bamboo genome annotations through integrative analyses of transcriptomic and epigenomic data.

ABSTRACT: Bamboo, one of the most crucial nontimber forest resources worldwide, has the capacity for rapid growth. In recent years, the genome of moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) has been decoded, and a large amount of transcriptome data has been published. In this study, we generated the genome-wide profiles of the histone modification H3K4me3 in leaf, stem, and root tissues of bamboo. The trends in the distribution patterns were similar to those in rice. We developed a processing pipeline for predicting novel transcripts to refine the structural annotation of the genome using H3K4me3 ChIP-seq data and 29 RNA-seq datasets. As a result, 12,460 novel transcripts were predicted in the bamboo genome. Compared with the transcripts in the newly released version 2.0 of the bamboo genome, these no
