HarvEST


Overview of HarvEST

HarvEST is now available for the following organisms: Barley, Brachypodium, Cassava, Citrus, Coffee, Cowpea, Musa (banana/plantain), Soybean, Rice, Wheat.  HarvEST software for Windows can be downloaded from this site (see links below). For online functionality (slower than Windows, not all functions are available online yet) many functions of HarvEST can be used by connecting to www.harvest-web.org.

HarvEST originated as EST database-viewing software in support of gene function analyses and oligonucleotide design, then grew to support activities including microarray content design, SNP identification, genotyping platform design, comparative genomics and the coupling of physical and genetic maps. HarvEST:Barley and HarvEST:Cowpea are presently the most fully enabled of the HarvEST software suite, as they provide on-the-fly synteny viewing and image export capabilities not yet available in other HarvEST software. HarvEST has been developed at the University of California, Riverside by Steve Wanamaker and Timothy CloseThe software is downloadable from this web site as installation files (see postings below) that allow HarvEST to run on any PC that uses Windows and meets the minimum hardware configuration (including Macintosh with a Windows emulator). Unless otherwise stated, all EST sequences have been quality trimmed, cleaned of vector, and assembled using CAP3 with quality values (special thanks to Xiaoqiu Huang for enhanced versions of CAP3). Exceptions are versions of HarvEST containing assemblies received from Affymetrix that were the basis of Affymetrix rice, soybean and wheat genome arrays. HarvEST includes an ACE file viewer that allows the user to examine the sequence alignment and readily determine where individual sequences reliably deviate from a consensus sequence, including SNPs. For key features of HarvEST, no Internet connection is required. Key features include: a choice of assemblies, sequence alignment viewing, synteny displays (available only in Windows versions), archived BLAST hit information, unigene export, Boolean searching with user-defined quantitative settings, and various other searching, reporting and export functions. The unigene export feature can be applied to entire assemblies, individual libraries, or any combination of libraries. For Boolean searches, a user sets parameters according to their interest. For example, the choice could be genes associated with a particular stress (e.g. low temperature, heat, drought, aluminum, nitrogen deprivation), developmental stage (e.g. malted seed, pre-anthesis spike, mature fruit), or tissue (e.g. endosperm, pericarp, embryo sac, rachis, root tip, rind). The user also decides what percentage representation is relevant. Once the choices have been made, the search is executed locally and a browsable output is displayed. The output can be viewed on-screen or exported as summary tables or sequence files. HarvEST also contains hyperlinks to other sequence databases and facilitates connection to NCBI and the HarvEST BLAST servers for online searches.

    Please check this site periodically for new versions. Subsequent versions will respond to user feedback and contain updated information and new functions, including more web-operability. If you would like to be automatically notified of new versions, please send a message asking that you are placed on a notification list.

HarvEST:Barley

    Version 1.83 of "HarvEST:Barley" contains six assemblies (21, 25, 31, 32, 35 and 36). Assemblies #21 and #25 were the basis of the "Barley1" microarray produced by Affymetrix as part of the USDA-IFAFS project, "An Integrated Physical and Expression Map of Barley for Triticeae Improvement" (Close et al. 2004. Plant Physiology 134: 960-968). Assembly #31 was used for overgo probe design to screen a Morex BAC library for gene-bearing clones in the NSF Plant Genome Research Program project, "Coupling EST Sequences and BAC Resources to Access the Barley Genome". Assemblies #32 and #35 were the main sources of SNPs for Illumina oligonucleotide pool assays developed initially for the same NSF Plant Genome Research project and subsequently the USDA-CSREES Barley Coordinated Agricultural Project (BarleyCAP) (Close et al. 2009. BMC Genomics 10:582). Assembly #36 combines short-read transcriptome consensus sequences from Morex barley, produced in the USDA-AFRI-NIFA project "Advancing the Barley Genome", with other sequences used for assembly #35. Version 1.83 includes a barley genetic map including 2994 SNP loci (Munoz, Moscou et al. 2011. The Plant Genome, submitted) and a synteny viewer to compare barley to rice or Brachypodium (Windows only; map viewer not available through www.harvest-web.org); the map viewer is functional only when assembly #32 or #35 is active. Version 1.83 (674 MB download, 1.20 GB installed) is enabled to view the Affymetrix "Barley1" microarray content, including probe set location, probe sequences, and enhanced probe set annotations. Version 1.83 contains barley EST data sets of more than 30,000 each from USDA-funded projects in the US (Rod Wing et al.), IPK Gatersleben (Andreas Graner et al.), Okayama University and the National Institute of Genetics (Kaz Sato et al.), Scottish Crop Research Institute (Robbie Waugh et al.), and University of Helsinki (Alan Schulman et al.), as well as smaller (less than 3,000 each) datasets of barley ESTs, whole cDNAs and genomics sequences from several other contributors. HarvEST:Barley contains best BLASTX hits from UniProt (February 2010) and gene models of rice (MSU version 6; January 2009), Arabidopsis (TAIR version 10; November 2010) and Brachypodium (Phytozome Bradi 1; May 2009). Development of HarvEST:Barley was initially funded by the USDA/CSREES Plant Genome program and then the NSF Plant Genome Research Program; updates and maintenance are currently funded by the USDA-AFRI-NIFA program, in the project "Advancing the Barley Genome". HarvEST:Barley is one of several portals to barley genome information provided by members of the International Barley Sequencing Consortium.

Using HarvEST

Searches

Search a GeneChip (Barley, Citrus, Rice, Soybean, Wheat)

You may input single probeset names or browse to a list of probe set names. You may output annotations or view the details of the unigenes. To generate annotations you may decide how many probes in a probe set must match an annotated unigene to absorb the annotation. The highest blastx score from any unigene touched by the probe set is reported.

Search ESTs by Expression Pattern

Select libraries in which you wish to see EST’s by entering, in the Min % field above the "Include" column, a minimum threshold percentage (example 0.2%), and putting a check mark next to each desired library.

Select the libraries from which you wish to exclude EST’s by entering, in the Max % field above the "exclude column", a maximum threshold percentage (example 0.04%), and putting a check mark next to each of those libraries.

Search ESTs by best BLAST hit keyword

You may find ESTs in the database by searching by function using keywords.

Search by Genbank #, EST Name, or Unigene #

You may find ESTs by Genbank #, EST name, or HarvEST unigene #.  Note: HarvEST unigene numbers change between versions and differ between assemblies.

Results Display

bullet

The unigene(s) selected through one of the above searches are shown on the left side.  The right side has alternative views, controlled by selections on the upper right.  The "Distribution Among Libraries" view displays where each member of the unigene was found within the libraries.   For each library, the number of unigene members, percentage of library, and a bar graph of the percentage of library are shown.  The "Alignment" view shows  the position and orientation of each EST within each CAP3 contig.  The "Sequence Alignment" view shows the full sequence information, including colorized representation of phred quality values and positions of deviation from the consensus sequence.

bullet

The best BLASTX hit against the translated NCBI nr database for the highest-scoring sequence in the selected contig is shown at the bottom left, and against the TIGR annotated rice (IRGSP) and/or Arabidopsis genome in the adjacent window(s).

bullet

Scrolling through the list of unigenes causes the display of libraries on the right to change to reflect the distribution of the each unigene that is highlighted.

bullet

Click on a library name to view a detailed description sheet for a library.

bullet

Click the View Members of Selected Unigene button for a browse-able list of the ESTs in the highlighted unigene.

bullet

Click the Output all Sequences from Selected Unigene button to export the highlighted unigene to a FASTA-formatted text file.

bullet

Click the View/Blast Consensus of Selected Unigene button to perform an NCBI BLASTX-nr search. (This requires an Internet connection.)

bullet

Click the Output the Above Unigene List button to create a FASTA or tab-delimited text file.

bullet

Click the Create a Unigene/Assembly Cross-Reference button to generate a tab-delimited text file.

Select a Different Assembly

bullet

HarvEST contains multiple assemblies.  Select this option to switch between them.  All other displays are in the context of the selected assembly.

Print Reports

bullet

The "Library Summary" shows the libraries are in the assembly and how many clones, contigs, contigs unique to the library, and singletons for each library.  The "Orientation Calls by Library Report" shows the number of forward and reverse orientation reads from each library.  Orientations are determined by a combination of sequencing primer information, presence of polyT or polyA, and best BLASTX orientation. The "Print a Summary by Source" lists the number of ESTs from each person, lab, or group.  These numbers are generally a little higher than reported elsewhere in HarvEST since some types of hidden ESTs that are in an intermediate processing stage may be counted.

About HarvEST Assemblies

The assemblies in HarvEST are not identical to clusters created by other programs. The unigene numbers are different for each assembly and do not correspond to unigene numbers in any other assembly or database. The assemblies in the HarvEST:Affymetrix versions for Wheat, Rice and Soybean were produced by Affymetrix and have been included in HarvEST software with permission of Affymetrix. HarvEST:Barley assembly #21 was the source of barley content for the Affymetrix barley genome array. HarvEST:Citrus assemblies #37 and #38 were the sources of citrus content for the Affymetrix citrus genome array.
