Fig. 1From: The host-pathogen interaction between wheat and yellow rust induces temporally coordinated waves of gene expressionAn initial depression in the percentage of reads mapping to the wheat genome early in infection could be restored by supplementing the wheat genome with plant-derived de novo assembled transcripts. a Alignment of RNA-seq data from the various time points during infection to both the wheat host and PST-130 pathogen reference genomes revealed a notable drop in the percentage of reads mapping to the wheat reference genome specifically at 3 days post inoculation (dpi). b The wheat reference genome, generated by the International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC), was supplemented with plant transcripts from a de novo assembly of the unmapped RNA-seq reads. Alignment of the RNA-seq data to this combined reference (“IWGSC + Plant”) restored the previous depression at 3 dpiBack to article page
