Carrot Genome Assembly DCARv2 Sequence Original Naming Scheme

An orange, doubled-haploid, Nantes-type carrot (DH1) was used for genome sequencing. We used BAC end sequences and a newly developed linkage map with 2,075 markers to correct 135 scaffolds with one or more chimeric regions. The resulting v2.0 assembly spans 421.5 Mb and contains 4,907 scaffolds (N50 of 12.7 Mb), accounting for ∼90% of the estimated genome size of 473 Mb. The scaftig N50 of 31.2 kb is similar to those of other high-quality genome assemblies such as potato and pepper. About 86% (362 Mb) of the assembled genome is included in only 60 superscaffolds anchored to the nine pseudomolecules. The longest superscaffold spans 30.2 Mb, 85% of chromosome 4.

There are a few different naming schemes for this assembly. First there is the
Authors' original naming scheme: Sequences with DCARv2 prefix are the original assembly as submitted to NCBI. These are labelled DCARv2_Chr1 through DCARv2_Chr9 for the chromosome pseudomolecules, DCARv2_MT and DCARv2_PT for the organellar assemblies, DCARv2_B1 and up for unincorporated superscaffolds, DCARv2_S26.1 and up for unincorporated scaffolds, and DCARv2_C10542132 and up for unincorporated contigs.

Phytozome genome ID 388: The authors' sequences and gene predictions were also submitted to Phytozome, and can be accessed at this address: https://phytozome-next.jgi.doe.gov/info/Dcarota_v2_0

LNRQ01: These sequences were then assigned GenBank accession numbers starting at LNRQ01000001.1 which corresponds to DCARv2_Chr1, up to LNRQ01004826.1 which corresponds to an unincorporated contig, DCARv2_C10750146. These reside in bioproject PRJNA268187, which is a subproject of umbrella project PRJNA285926.

Assembly GCA_001625215.1: The genome assembly was later defined an accession number GCA_001625215.1 for assembly ASM162521v1 which consists of only the 9 chromosome sequences and the plastid assembly, which have accession numbers from CM004278.1 to CM004286.1 for the chromosomes and CM004358.1 for the plastid. The mitochondrial genome was not included because it is classified as an incomplete sequence.

RefSeq: The assembly was then later added to RefSeq, and there another new set of identifiers was defined from NC_030381.1 to NC_030389.1 for the chromosomes, and from NW_016089425.1 to NW_016094239.1 for unincorporated scaffolds and contigs. These reside in bioproject PRJNA326436. Note that NCBI substituted different assembled organellar genomes from different genotypes for the RefSeq records.
