Genome Sequencing Project Information
   The B73 inbred line is the source of our community reference genome. However, B73 cannot be transformed, making it difficult to make use genomic data for genetics studies that involve transformation. Our motivation was to identify an inbred line similar to B73 for plant transformation. Both B73 and B104 are derived from the Iowa Stiff Stalk Synthetic lines. Unlike B73, B104 is readily transformed. The ISU Plant Transformation Facility now offers transformation services for the B104 inbred line. They share about 93% similarity as calculated using TIPSimSelector at MaizeGDB, a tool that assess genetics similarity based on methods described in Romay et al., 2013

Sequencing and Assembly Information
   Assembly name   Zm-B104-DRAFT-ISU_USDA-0.1
   Sequencing description   Sequence service provider: Dow AgroSciences
Sequencing technologies: Illumina paired end sequencing
Sequencing method: Illumina pair-end sequencing (50x) technology was used to sequence the B104 maize line followed by its genome assembly using a reference-guided approach with B73 as the reference genome. De novo assembly was used for assembling the unmapped Illumina reads. Draft beta pseudomolecule assembly was done using reference-guided assembly via ALLMAPS with B73 and W22 synteny markers generated with SynMap using the Ensembl B73 version 4.32 genome or the W22 genome vs the unassembled B104 scaffolds. Many scaffolds with annotations are still unplaced. Additionally, in the upcoming full-release, 20x PacBio reads are being generated to create pseudomolecules.
Sequencing hardware: HiSeq2000
   Assembly description   Assembly methods: Reference based assembly plus de novo assembly for unmapped reads
Construction of pseudomolecules: Yes
