Metadata for assembly Zm-F7-REFERENCE-TUM-1.0 Project: F7 Genome Assembly - Technical University of Munich BioProject: PRJNA360923 The enormous diversity of maize is reflected by a large number of SNPs and substantial structural variation. To remedy the scarcity of sequence resources for the Flint pool, a reference sequence was generated de novo from inbred line F7. The F7 reference sequence complements the maize pan-genome with European Flint diversity.

This project is part of the European Maize project (http://www.europeanmaize.net/). This work was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection (Project BayKlimaFit; http://www.bayklimafit.de/) BioSample: SAMN06216672 Assembly and sequencing: Assembly methods: NRGene de novo assembly. The assembly was done using DeNovoMAGIC 2.0 after which NRGene’s internal maize ancestral genome was used to build pseudo chromosomes from the de novo assembled scaffolds.
