Recombination map construction method using ONT sequence

Although meiotic recombination is a key step shared by eukaryotes, the rate of recombination varies at different taxonomic levels. The construction of high-resolution genome-wide recombination maps will help us understand the variability patterns of recombination rates and their molecular basis. ONT...

description Although meiotic recombination is a key step shared by eukaryotes, the rate of recombination varies at different taxonomic levels. The construction of high-resolution genome-wide recombination maps will help us understand the variability patterns of recombination rates and their molecular basis. ONT sequencing technology has the characteristics of long read length, high throughput, and reasonable cost, and can be used as a data source for the construction of whole-gene recombination landscapes. In order to construct the genome-wide recombination map of an individual conveniently and accurately, we developed a method to construct the recombination landscape based on the third-generation sequencing technology, Oxford Nanopore Sequencing. Here we detail a step-by-step approach to efficiently and accurately construct genome-wide recombination maps using ONT pooled sequencing data. The main contents include compression homopolymers and alignment; acquisition of high-quality variants; estimation of recombinant molecules by the sliding window method; and construction of recombinant maps. The results of simulation data validation show that our method has high sensitivity and specificity at moderate heterozygous variant density and sequencing depth. This method provides a new way of constructing high-resolution individual genome recombination maps using long read sequences, and has important reference significance for the study of recombination rate variation.
