Barleymap was designed to search the position of barley genetic markers
on the
Barley Physical Map (IBSC
[1]),
the
POPSEQ map (Mascher
et al.[2]) and the 2017 Morex Genome.
The current version uses by default the
MorexV3 genome
[5].
Since 2026 markers can also be mapped to
pangenome graphs.
All the public data used by Barleymap can be found at
PGSB
,
IPK
,
e!DAL
,
Barley RTD
, the
NCBI,
and
barley_pangenes.
The
Find markers option allows to find the position of markers by using their identifiers as input.
Note that those markers must be part of one of the
precalculated datasets available (e.g.: Illumina 50K markers).
To use the
Align sequences option you must provide nucleotide sequences of the markers (in FASTA format).
These will be used to retrieve their positions through
sequence alignment to the selected map (IBSC2012, POPSEQ, MorexGenome or MorexV3).
The
Align to graph also requires nucleotide sequences of the markers (in FASTA format).
These will be used to retrieve their positions through alignment to the selected pangenome graph (Pan20, Med13).
The
Locate by position option allows to examine the map context of specific positions,
which must be provided as tuples with chromosome (or contig) and position (local position, within the chromosome or contig, in base pairs).
For example, an user could provide as input "chr1H 10000" to find out which genes are in that specific region of chromosome 1H.
In addition to locate a list of markers or sequences,
information of genes and pangenes, genetic markers, and anchored features,
that enrich the context around or between the queries will be shown.
