SNP Genotyping Data from the Barley Experimental Population from "Two Genomic Regions Contribute Disproportionately to Geographic Differentiation in Wild Barley"
The 318 sampled wild barley accensions, known as the Wild Barley Diversity Collection (WBDC), were genotyped using the Illumina Golden Gate Genotyping Assay with two Barley Oligo Pool assay chips (BOPA1 and BOPA2). The genotype calls were based on machine-scored data using the program ALCHEMY and the SNPs were annotated using the program SNPMeta. The BOPA1 & 2 files contains the output of the ALCHEMY program.
Finally the original individual SSR for barley are publicly available at the website called GrainGenes and the sample used in this dataset are included as a txt file. All three files (tsv and txt) can be opened by text editors.Two Barley Oligo Pool Assay chips (BOPA 1 and 2) were genotyped from the Wild Barley Diversity Collection. Due to its broad geographic distribution and ecological adaptation, this collection is a valuable source of potentially useful genes.USDA NIFA 2011-68002-30029University of Minnesota Doctoral Dissertation FellowshipLieberman-Okinow Endowment at the University of MinnesotaUSAID-funded Cereals Comparative Genomics InitiativeFang, Zhou; Gonzales, Ana M; Clegg, Michael T; Smith, Kevin P; Muehlbauer, Gary J; Steffenson, Brian J; Morrell, Peter L.

Variants from "The role of deleterious substitutions in crop genomes"
There are two gzipped VCF (variant call format) files with variant calls for barley and soybean. A total of 652,797 SNPs were identified in the barley lines, which consisted of 13 cultivars and 2 wild accessions. For soybean, 7 cultivars and 1 wild accession were used, and 586,102 SNPs were called. Whether a variant is deleterious or not was determined using SIFT (http://sift.jcvi.org/), PolyPhen2 (http://genetics.bwh.harvard.edu/pph2/), and a likelihood ratio test of sequence conservation. Raw reads are available through the SRA accession numbers in Table S1 of Kono et al. 2016. The code used for this research, BAD_Mutations, is open source and freely available at https://github.com/MorrellLAB/BAD_Mutations.SNP calls in protein coding regions were obtained from 15 barley and 8 soybean lines. Non synonymous SNPs were predicted to be deleterious or not using three approaches.USDA NIFA National Needs Fellowship (Appropriation No. 5430-21000-006-00D)MnDrive 2014 Food Security FellowshipMinnesota Agricultural Experiment Station Variety Development fundUnited Soybean BoardU.S. NSF Plant Genome Program (BDI-1339393)Kono, Thomas J Y; Fu, Fengli; Mohammadi, Mohsen; Hoffman, Paul J; Liu, Chaochih; Stupar, Robert M; Smith, Kevin P; Tiffin, Peter; Fay, Justin C; Morrell, Peter L.

Influence of semen collection method on ejaculate characteristics in the common marmoset, Callithrix jacchus
A source of normal spermatozoa (sperm) is required for many andrological and reproductive studies. Ideally the method used for semen collection should be repeatable and reliable but should not influence sperm characteristics or sperm function. Two methods of semen collection from marmosets, vaginal washing after copulation and electroejaculation, were compared in terms of the success rate in obtaining samples and the characteristics of the sperm suspensions. Vaginal washing was shown to be a reliable, repeatable, and apparently non-stressful method of obtaining ejaculates, with 8 out of 10 males ejaculating on at least four of the five attempts. The semen was of good quality as assessed by conventional means, and the sperm were highly fertile when used for artificial insemination (Al; 100% conception rate). In contrast, fewer ejaculates were obtained from the same males by electroejaculation (success rate 30%), sperm survival in vitro was reduced compared to sperm collected by vaginal washing (0.93 +/- 0.15 days for electroejaculated sperm compared to 1.98 +/- 0.3 days for sperm from vaginal washing), and the number of animals giving birth after Al was smaller (0 vs. 6; P < 0.05). The proportions of motile (74.8 vs. 70.7%), live (84.7 vs. 81%), and morphologically normal (91.9 vs. 87.6%) sperm in the ejaculates were not affected by the semen collection method, but velocity parameters, such as curvilinear velocity, straight line velocity, and average path velocity, as assessed by computerized motility analysis, were significantly lower in vaginal washings than in electroejaculates (P < 0.023, 0.008, and 0.008, respectively). Mean angular deviation and beat cross frequency were greater in vaginal washings than in electroejaculates (P < 0.016 and 0.008, respectively). Therefore the effect of semen collection method on sperm function should always be considered when designing reproductive studies
