Ensembl - adding value to animal genomes through high quality annotation
Lead Research Organisation:
University of Edinburgh
Department Name: The Roslin Institute
Abstract
This project will deliver high quality up-to-date annotated genomes for key farmed and domesticated animals to enable research on these economically and socially important species.
Research on domesticated animals has important socio-economic impacts, including underpinning and accelerating improvements in the animal sector of agriculture, contributing to medical research by providing animal models, improving animal health and welfare and informing understanding of natural and wild animal populations. High quality annotated genome sequences are key resources to enable such research.
The sequence of almost all genes (a reference genome sequence) has been determined for major farmed and domesticated animal species such as cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys, dogs and horses as well as for several important fish species, including cod, rainbow trout, salmon and tilapia. However, the strings of billions of bases (symbolised as four letters A, C, G, T) that constitute these genome sequences are not particularly useful or understandable on their own. Once a genome has been sequenced, it needs to be 'annotated' (i.e. explanatory notes need to be added to identify key features within the genome sequence) in order for research scientists to make sense of it.
Annotating reference genome sequences with features such as where the coding and regulatory parts of genes are located, and the bases which differ between individuals within a species (genetic variants) greatly enhances the value and utility of the genome sequence. Visualising the genome sequences complete with annotations in a freely accessible manner further improves the value of the information.
Ensembl provides a means for researchers to look at or 'browse' the annotated genome information. The databases and tools provided by Ensembl have been shown to be a powerful and effective means of annotating the complex genomes of animal species including humans, mice and more recently farmed and domesticated animals.
Enabled by advances in genome sequencing technologies and associated computational methods scientists around the world are generating more and better genome sequences. As the genome sequence of a single individual does not completely represent the genetic make-up of a species, scientists are also sequencing multiple individuals within a species. Individual research groups and international consortia are also generating sequence information that can be used in the annotation and analysis pipelines that we will run to identify both coding and regulatory sequences. We will use these data to annotate the genomes of farmed and domesticated animals, including aquaculture species. We will run comparative analyses to compare genomes both between species and between individuals within a species.
These richly annotated genome sequences, which are in effect maps of where the coding gene content and regulatory sequences are located, will be made freely available to the scientific community and others via the Ensembl Genome Browser mounted on the World Wide Web as well as via an Application Programming Interface for power users. We will also provide between and within species comparative views.
The annotated genomes that we will deliver are valuable not only to academic researchers, but also to scientists working in industry, including those in the animal breeding, animal health and pharmaceutical sectors. Keeping this information up-to-date, by characterising new genome sequences and integrating new data as it becomes available, is essential for reference genome sequences to remain current and useful.

Technical Summary
High quality annotated genomes are essential resources for life sciences research.
Draft reference genome sequences have been established for several farmed and domesticated animals: cattle, goat, pig, sheep; chicken, duck, turkey; dog, horse; rainbow trout, salmon, tilapia. Substantially improved genome assemblies have been established for goat, pig, cattle, sheep, water buffalo, chicken) using long read sequencing technologies. There are gaps in the annotation of these genomes in terms of transcript complexity, non-coding genes, pseudogenes and regulatory sequences. Moreover, the pseudo haploid genome sequence of one individual provides an incomplete view of a species' genome.
Scientists are generating more and better genome sequences for additional species and individuals within a species. Researchers, especially in the FAANG and FAASG consortia are generating functional data for annotation of coding, non-coding and regulatory sequences.
We will analyse and annotate farmed and domesticated animal genomes as they are released, exploiting the growing volumes of functional data (short and long read RNA-seq / transcript sequences; ChIP-seq; ATAC-Seq; CAGE; bisulfite sequence) to identify coding genes, non-coding genes and regulatory sequences. We will acquire data from re-sequencing projects to characterise genetic variation within species (SNPs, indel, structural variants) and display this variation in its genomics context. We will run comparative genomics analyses both between species and within species.
We will disseminate the resulting richly annotated genome sequences freely via the Ensembl Genome Browser and via an API for power users. These annotated genomes will provide an integrated view of functional sequences (coding, non-coding and regulatory) and sequence variation for a single or multiple individuals for key farmed and domesticated animals.
To maximise use of this resource we will provide demonstrations, on-line and face-to-face training.

| Description | Since the start of the current round of funding in summer 2019, there have been 10 releases of Ensembl annotation via the main Ensembl genome browser site from Ensembl Release 98 in September 2019 to Ensembl release 107 in July 2022. Ensembl Rapid Release is a new site within the Ensembl infrastructure designed to facilitate early release of annotation. During the course of the current BBSRC BBR grants the Ensembl Rapid Release site has been used as a staging post for new annotations of our target domesticated animal genomes. The key deliverables and milestones with respect to the farmed and companion animal species of interest are: Bovids: Annotation of the Water Buffalo reference genome sequence was released on the Ensembl Rapid Release site in July 2020. Goat: A second goat assembly (CVASU_BBG_1.0) has been annotated and released in May 2020 and is available under a goat breeds' tag in a manner analogous to that used for pigs and dogs. Pig: September 2019, Release 98 - a further 11 pig genome assemblies were annotated and released. These breed-specific annotations represent a significant resource for non-reference pig genomics. To better facilitate comparison between the reference and breed annotations, the reference gene set was also updated, utilising the latest gene finding code. The gene set was updated in April 2020, Release 100 and August 2020, Release 101. The number of non-coding genes and transcripts annotated have increased by 276% and 127%, respectively. Gene models built with RNA-Seq data generated by the EC H2020 GENE-SWitCH FAANG project have been added to the annotation on the Rapid Release Site prior to migrating to the main site in Release 107 in July 2022. Sheep: A new improved Rambouillet sheep reference genome assembly (Oar_rambouillet_v1.0) was annotated and released in May 2020. Annotation of the earlier draft Texel sheep reference genome sequence is also available on the main site. In a new development, variation data can be visualized in both these annotated genomes. Cat: An updated and patched genebuild was released for the Felis_catus_9.0 assembly in September 2019, Release 98 with further updates in April 2020, Release 100 and February 2021, Release 103. The updated gene set used the updated gene finding software and a wide range of transcriptomic data to significantly improve the existing annotation, particularly in terms of building more complete gene models. A further (American Shorthair) cat genome assembly has been annotated and is available on the Rapid Release site together with annotated genomes for F1 crossbreds between domestic and wild cat species. Dog: In September 2019, Release 98 an updated and patched genebuild was released for the CamFam3.1. This updated gene set used the updated gene finding software and a wide range of transcriptomic data to significantly improve the existing annotation, particularly in terms of building more complete gene models. In January 2020, Release 99 - a further 2 dog genome assemblies, Basenji and Great Dane, were annotated and released. In December 2021, Release 105 the Labrador Retriever assembly generated at Roslin and recognized as the new representative genome) was annotated and released together with an improved Boxer assembly. Annotated assemblies for a further two dogs (German Shepherds) and have been generated and are available on the Rapid Release site. Horse: In September 2019, Release 98 an updated and patched genebuild was released for the EquCab3.0 assembly. This updated gene set used the updated gene finding software and a wide range of transcriptomic data to significantly improve the existing annotation, particularly in terms of building more complete gene models. Further updates and patches to the gene set were released in January and April 2020. Chicken: Gene models built with RNA-Seq data generated by the EC H2020 GENE-SWitCH FAANG project were added to the annotation on the Rapid Release Site prior to migrating to the main site. Annotations are currently underway for layer and broiler breeds. On the main site the broiler assembly (bGalGal1.mat.broiler.GRCg7b (GCA_016699485.1)) is now recognised as the chicken reference genome, replacing the earlier reference of the Red Jungle Fowl that acted as a surrogate for the chicken. The annotated assembly of a White Leghorn layer's genome (bGalGal1.pat.whiteleghornlayer.GRCg7w, INSDC Assembly GCA_016700215.2) and an updated annotation the Red Jungle Fowl genome assembly (GRCg6a, INSDC Assembly GCA_000002315.5) are also available on the main site. Duck: A second duck genome (of a Mallard duck) was annotated and released in April 2020. Atlantic salmon: The first annotated reference genome of the Atlantic salmon was released in January 2020, Release 99. Annotation tracks from Salmobase and RefSeq were also loaded to help researchers reconstruct a clearer picture of the complex evolution of the salmon gene set. In July 2021 a new, higher quality reference (Ssal_v3.1 (GCA_905237065.2)) was annotated and released on Ensembl Rapid Release and is now available on the main site. Carp: In January 2020, Release 99 annotation for the genomes of three strains of common carp (german mirror, hebao red and huanghe) was released. In August 2021 a new, higher quality reference genome (Cypcar_WagV4.0 (GCA_905221575.1)) was annotated, released via Ensembl Rapid Release and is now available on the main site. Tilapia: In September 2019, Release 98 a new genebuild was released for the O_niloticus_UMD_NMBU assembly. This updated assembly and gene set used the updated gene finding software and a wide range of transcriptomic data to significantly improve the existing annotation, particularly in terms of building more complete gene models. We have provided deep comparative resources for both reference species and breeds. We have included all reference species on the main Ensembl website in our gene trees (as part of a collection of 200 vertebrate and model references), providing both the trees themselves and orthology/paralogy relationships. For each reference, we provide pairwise whole genome alignments to human or another suitable vertebrate reference (e.g. chicken for birds). For high quality genome assemblies, we have included them in our multi-whole genome alignments, such as our EPO alignments such as our 15 sauropsids EPO alignment, our 46 eutherian mammals EPO and our 37 fish EPO. For pig we have provided a custom breed-based comparative resource, which includes an EPO alignment of all 13 pig breeds (including the reference) and three outgroup species (cow, horse, sheep). In addition we have built gene trees for this same set of genomes. On our Rapid Release site we have begun to provide some basic comparative analyses, ahead of deeper integration on the main Ensembl website. The annotated reference genome sequences have been delivered through a series of ten Ensembl releases (Ensembl Release 98 in September 2019 to Ensembl release 107 in July 2022) and/or via the Ensembl Rapid Release. |

| Description | Annotated reference genome sequences are a key resource not only for biological research but also for the exploitation of genomic information by the private sector. For example, genomic selection, in which genome-wide genetic marker data are used to estimate genomic breeding values (GEBVs) of individuals by means of a genomic prediction equation, has facilitated significant acceleration in the genetic improvement of farmed animals, especially dairy cattle, pigs and poultry. This genomic prediction equation is calculated using a 'training' or 'reference' population where animals have both genotypes and phenotypes, and is then applied to selection candidates, which often have marker genotype information only. The annotated reference genome sequences are a key resource and framework for the identification of genetic variation such as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) and subsequent development of SNP chips. The genotypic information required for implementation of genomic selection are acquired through the use of these SNP chips. This UKRI-BBSRC funded project has improved the annotation of the reference genomes of farmed animals and thus facilitated improvements to models used for implementing genomic selection in these species. |

| Title | Common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus) reference genome sequence |
| Description | De novo assembly of a chromosome-level reference genome of the common warthog (Phacochoerus africanus). For the warthog assembly DNA was isolated from Pulmonary Alveolar Macrophages derived from a female individual. DNA long reads were isolated by Edinburgh Genomics and sequencing was done using Pacific Biosciences Sequel instruments at Pacific Biosciences and at Edinburgh Genomics. A total of 44 SMRT cells yielded 150Gbp of raw data with a read N50 of 13.9kbp, providing about 60x coverage of the genome. Contig level assembly was generated using Falcon and Falcon-unzip, reconstructing the 2.4 Gbp long genome in 1,500 contigs (with contig N50 of 3.2Mbp). Scaffolding was done using optical mapping data produced by Deep Seq on a Bionano Saphyr instrument, using Bionano Solve software. This was followed by scaffolding based on proximity ligation method. The Hi-C library was created using Dovetail Genomics' Hi-C library preparation kit. Refining the scaffolds were done with Dovetail Genomics' HiRise pipeline. Gaps in the assembly were filled with PBJelly using the PacBio long-read dataset. Error correction was done with Pilon, based on an Illumina short read library generated from the same warthog individual. The mitochondrial (MT) DNA was assembled from filtered, MT specific, PacBio long-read sequences using the Flye assembler and was error corrected with Illumina short-read data with Pilon. Data use: The assembly sequence is made publicly available by Prof. Alan L. Archibald, University of Edinburgh, Roslin Institute and Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, Midlothian, UK, under the terms of the Toronto Statement (Nature 2009, 461: 168) with the following understanding: Users are free to analyse these data if the providers of these data are properly cited, any whole genome analyses should follow guidelines outlined in the Ft. Lauderdale agreement on the use of this assembly and any redistribution of the data should carry this notice. |

Included in this dataset are the raw data CAGE libraries that were prepared and sequenced and the corresponding BAM files mapped to the ARS-UCD1.2 reference genome. |
| Type Of Material | Database/Collection of data |
| Year Produced | 2021 |
| Provided To Others? | Yes |
| Impact | We have generated 109 CAGE libraries from bovine tissues and provided the output as BAM files. These BAM files are accessible to all partners in BovReg via the private data portal at present (ENA Accession Number PRJEB43235) and will be made publicly available according to the timeframe agreed by the consortium. We are currently performing clustering of CAGE tags to annotate TSS across tissues. The results of the clustering will then be used to provide a high resolution map of the transcribed regions of the cattle genome. We believe, based on preliminary analysis of TSS annotated in the ARS-UCD1.2 genome, that the map of transcribed regions that we will generate for BovReg will be a significant improvement on the current gene annotation information which is available for cattle. |

| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | I provided my detailed knowledge of the Swine Genome Sequencing Consortium's project that produced the draft pig reference genome sequence (Sscrofa10.2) as described by Groenen et al. 2012. Pig genomes provide insight into porcine demography and evolution. Nature 491: 393-398 and the pig physical mapping project as described by Humphray et al. 2007. A high utility integrated map of the pig genome. Genome Biology 8:R139. My research team had also established the bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) library resource described by Anderson et al. 2000. A large fragment porcine genomic library resource in a BAC vector. Mammalian Genome 11, 811-814. BAC clones from this library were used as probes for fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) experiments in this collaborative project. My knowledge of the pig physical mapping and pig genome sequencing projects was critical in interpreting the anomalous and unexpected results from the initial FISH experiments. |
| Collaborator Contribution | This collaboration was initiated and led by Prof Darren Griffin and colleagues at the University of Kent. In addition to leading the collaboration the Kent team delivered the expertise in cytogenetics analysis. JSR Genetics provided animal materials and phenotypes. Cytocell Ltd provided technical expertise and the Chromoprobe Multiprobe System. The work was funded by an Innovate UK Knowledge Transfer Partnership to Prof Darren Griffin and Cytocell Ltd. |
| Impact | The project has demonstrated that FISH-based translocation screening is a powerful and reliable approach to screening for chromosomal translocation that can have adverse effects on fertility. The device described by O'Connor et al. (see below) is now a commercial product marketed by Cytocell Ltd. The project results have been useful if anchoring the new improved pig reference genome sequence to chromosomes and confirming the order and orientation for each chromosomal sequence. The results of the study have been published by O'Connor et al. Isolation of subtelomeric sequences of porcine chromosomes for translocation screening reveals errors in the pig genome assembly. Animal Genetics (in press). The research undertaken by Rebecca O'Connor is a major component of her PhD research studies. |

Scientists at The Roslin Institute contribute to this collaboration through membership of the FAANG Steering Committee (A Archibald, D Burt, M Watson); the Animals, Samples and Assays committee (D Burt, E Clark, M McCulloch, J Smith, M Watson, R Young); the Bioinformatics and Data Analysis committee (M Watson (co-chair), D Burt, L Eory, R Kuo, M McCulloch); Communication (A Archibald, M Watson); and Metadata and Data Sharing committee (A Archibald, S Bush, E Clark, M Watson, R Young). |
| Collaborator Contribution | The FAANG initiative is an open international collaborative project. The project partners are developing agreed standards for i) experiments to generate the data required for functional annotation of animal genomes, ii) meta data, iii) data analysis and iv) data sharing. A few partners have secured funding for pilot data generation efforts and are producing initial data sets. The partners at EMBL-European Bioinformatics Insitute are establishing the Data Coordination Centre (DCC) function for FAANG. The EMBL-EBI partners, together with A Archibald and D Burt at The Roslin Institute are seeking funding to support the DCC in the medium term. |
| Impact | 280 scientists from around the world have identified themselves as contributors to FAANG. To date (March 2016) the listed collaborators are limited to those institutions from which the authors of the paper below are drawn. The FAANG Consortium published their vision for this collaborative venture (The FAANG Consortium, Andersson, L., Archibald, A.L., Bottema, C.D., Brauning, R., Burgess, S.C., Burt, D.W., Casas, E., Cheng, H.H., Clarke, L., Couldrey, C., Dalrymple, B.P., Elsik, C.G., Foissac, S., Giuffra, E., Groenen, M.A., Hayes, B.J., Huang, L.S., Khattib, H., Kijas, J.W., Kim, H., Lunney, J.K., McCarthy, F.M., McEwan, J.C., Moore, S., Nanduri, B., Notredame, C., Palti, Y., Plastow, G.S., Reecy, J.M., Rohrer, G.A., Sarrapoulu, E., Schmidt, C.J., Silverstein, J., Tellam, R.L., Tixier-Boichard, M., Tosser-Klop, G., Tuggle, C.K., Vilkki, J., White, S.N., Zhao, S. and Zhou, H., 2015. Coordinated international action to accelerate genome-to-phenome with FAANG, the Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes project. Genome Biology 16: 57). A workshop (GO-FAANG) to launch FAANG and to engage with potential funders was held at the US National Academy of Sciences, Washington DC over 7-8 October 2015. Funding has been secured to establish a COST Action Functional Annotation of Animal Genomes - European network (FAANG-Europe)) CA1152. A data sharing agreement has been completed and individuals who sign up as FAANG contributors are expected to comply with the data sharing agreement, including placing experimental data in the public domain in advance of publication.

| Country | United States |
| Sector | Public |
| PI Contribution | To provide samples to generate a new telomere to telomere genome assembly for pig, we collected tissues from a Hampshire x (Large white x Landrace) F1 fetus at 72 days of gestation and shipped these to USMARC. We also collected samples to generate DNA from the two parent animals and sent these to NeoGen to generate Illumina short read data for haplotype phasing, which we also subsequently transferred to USMARC. We plan to generate RNA from the tissue samples and send this for long read isoform sequencing. We routinely participate in swine genomics consortium calls with US collaborators to progress generating the T2T assembly and annotation. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Our collaborators at USMARC and USDA-ARS in Beltsville received the tissue samples and have generated PacBio HiFi, and Oxford Nanopore data to build a telomere to telomere assembly for pig. They will use a trio-binning approach to generate the assembly, and also plan to generate methylation data for several of the tissues. |
| Impact | No outputs yet, data is still being generated. |

| PI Contribution | We have employed a pipeline for the analysis of Iso-Seq data using TAMA suite of analysis tools for Iso-Seq data. TAMA tools was developed at The Roslin Institute. Using this pipeline we have analysed isoform usage across tissues from a White Dorper x Romanov 100 day sheep foetus. We performed this analysis in order to establish the analysis pipeline prior to our own Iso-Seq data becoming available. In parallel we have analyses allele-specific expression in these tissues to look at parent of origin effects and links allele and isoform specific expression information. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Our collaborators at the USDA generated the Iso-Seq data from 36 tissues from a White Dorper x Romanov 100 day sheep foetus on the PacBio Sequel II platform and then transferred this to us. In parallel they generated Ilumunia RNA-Seq on the same tissues and transferred this data to us to analyse in paralell. These datasets were generated to annotate new long read assemblies they were generated for these two breeds of sheep using a trio-binning approach. |

We plan to use a trio-binning approach and start with the Texel x Scottish Blackface cross. To this end we have brought up ovine embryonic fibroblasts from this cross and frozen cell pellets ready for DNA extraction. |
| Collaborator Contribution | The USDA are coordinating sheep and goat long read genome assembly sequencing efforts and plan to send us flow cells to generate some of these assemblies at Roslin. They are also providing their expertise in the generation of trio-binned assemblies and are facilitating acquiring some of the samples from other partners for sequencing. |

| Results and Impact | This article was posted as a Roslin Institute News report describing how the researchers involved in the study hope to explore their data further to identify variations in the genetic code of pigs that are linked to growth, and better understand how these differences regulate the activity of key genes involved in muscle development, to inform pig breeding programmes. The method described in the news article and associated publication using frozen tissue could be applied to investigate how the genetic code of livestock controls their characteristics. As the method can be used on samples from frozen tissue banks this can help limit the numbers of animals used for research. The research was published in G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics https://doi.org/10.1093/g3journal/jkab424. |
