Citrus improvement through traditional techniques, however, is highly impaired due to the unusual combination of biological characteristics of <italic>Citrus </italic>species, their low genetic diversity and the long-term nature of tree breeding. Citrus are diploid plants with an estimated haploid genome size of about 367 Mb and 2n = 18 chromosomes, which may facilitate the use of genomics tools for crop improvement. Expressed sequence tag (EST) analyses and molecular marker studies strongly suggest that the main commercial citrus cultivars (oranges, lemons and grapefruits) are mostly interspecific hybrids and therefore are heterozygous "species" [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">1</xref>]. In addition, most of the cultivars in these groups, including Clementine varieties, may represent accumulated somatic mutations identified over centuries [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2</xref>].</p><p>The development of citrus genomic resources is in its infancy although in recent years major efforts and goals mostly on functional genomics have certainly been undertaken [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]. Critical functional and expression analyses through microarrays with several platforms have also been published and analyses of ESTs in public databases have been initiated [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>]. For instance, 401,692 citrus ESTs have been deposited at GenBank and are currently available. This collection constitutes a valuable source for the direct access to the genes of interest and for the development of molecular markers for map-based cloning purposes or marker-assisted selection programs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B6">6</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">9</xref>]. Moreover, genetic linkage maps have been produced with increasing value and resolution, following the evolution of new marker systems [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>]. Genetic transformation in citrus is also available [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B12">12</xref>] and strategies based on genome-wide mutagenesis are being explored. Other innovative resources such as viral-induced gene silencing (VIGS) are being developed and work in citrus proteomics is in progress [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">13</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">14</xref>]. Thus, current advances in citrus research include the rapid development of functional genomics and molecular biology resources [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>] although, on the other hand, basic information on the organization and structure of citrus genome is lacking. The main challenge for a comprehensive and meaningful description of genomes is the integration of the DNA marker-based genetic maps with physical maps, and eventually with DNA sequence of the whole genome, the ultimate physical map. For the generation of high-resolution physical maps, the construction of BAC libraries containing clones with large DNA fragments appears to be indispensable. BAC end sequencing is indeed an important component of physical map development and can be considered a form of low coverage sequencing [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">16</xref>]. Paired end sequences of BACs form an important part of scaffolding whole-genome shotgun programs [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>] as well as in BAC based genome projects [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>]. In addition, BAC clone collections and BAC-based contig maps are powerful tools having multiple applications in genomics including positional cloning. The BAC end sequence provides a random survey of the information contents (genes, transposons, repeats) of unsequenced genomes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>], and yields molecular markers useful for genetic mapping [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B23">23</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B25">25</xref>], and cloning of genes of agricultural interest [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B26">26</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B28">28</xref>]. Furthermore, in many agriculturally important species BAC clones and physical maps are being rapidly developed since they are essential components in linking phenotypic traits to the responsible genetic variation, to integrate the genetic data, for the comparative analysis of genomes, and to speed up marker-assisted selection (MAS) for breeding. Thus, BAC libraries have become central for physical mapping, genome analysis, clone based sequencing and sequencing of complex genomes, for both model [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>] and main crop plants [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B29">29</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B32">32</xref>].</p><p>In citrus, two BAC libraries from <italic>Poncirus trifoliata </italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">11</xref>] and a hybrid of <italic>Citrus </italic>× <italic>Poncirus </italic>[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">10</xref>] have been described in detail. These libraries were constructed as part of a map-based cloning strategy of genes conferring resistance to citrus tristeza virus that causes significant economic damage and losses to citrus worldwide. <italic>Poncirus </italic>is a non domesticated genus related to citrus species that produces inedible fruit. However, other efforts to generate BAC citrus resources, for instance in Satsuma or sweet orange have also been accomplished [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>].</p><p>In this work, we report the characterization of three genomic BAC libraries from Clementine (<italic>Citrus clementina</italic>) mandarin, a cultivar of great [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">3</xref>]economic importance that has been a main target of recent studies [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">15</xref>]. The development of these new genomic tools also complements the functional genomics platform generated for this species including an extensive EST collection and a 20 k cDNA chip [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">4</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">5</xref>], expanding further possibilities for isolation of genes of agronomical interest [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B33">33</xref>,<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B34">34</xref>]. This study provides the most comprehensive, large insert clone resource of any <italic>Citrus </italic>species and reports the analysis of 46,339 BAC end sequences offering a first detailed insight into the sequence composition of the Clementine genome. The analyses focused on protein coding regions, repeat element composition, microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism contents. Additionally, data on gene homology based comparative genomics with poplar and <italic>Arabidopsis </italic>are also presented. The annotated BAC-end sequences may well serve as useful resources for physical mapping, positional cloning, genetic marker development and genome sequencing of <italic>C. clementina</italic>.</p></sec><sec><title>Results and discussion</title><sec><title>BAC library characterization</title><p>Three genomic BAC libraries (CCL1, CCER1 and CCH3) were constructed as described in Material and Methods, with DNA from <italic>Citrus clementina </italic>(var. Clemenules), pEBAC1 as the cloning vector and three different restriction enzymes (Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>). The CCL1 library composed of 19,200 clones was generated with <italic>Mbo</italic>I partial digestions. <italic>Eco</italic>RI and <italic>Hind</italic>III were used for the construction of CCER1 and CCH3, respectively, and 18,432 clones were picked from each one. The three libraries contained 56,064 BAC clones that were arrayed in 146 384-well microtiter plates. It has been reported that the use of three different restriction enzymes resulted in a more accurate coverage of the genomes, since the different GC contents of their recognition sites increases the representation of a higher number of genomic regions [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B35">35</xref>]. A single library constructed with one restriction enzyme usually cannot provide a full coverage of the genome, as the restriction sites are not uniformly distributed along the genome, and therefore genomic regions having too many or too few restriction sites are not equally represented [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B36">36</xref>]. Generally, two or more complementary large insert libraries, constructed with different restriction enzymes, have been successfully used for physical mapping of several plant genomes including those of Arabidopsis[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B37">37</xref>], japonica rice [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B38">38</xref>], or soybean [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B30">30</xref>].</p><table-wrap position="float" id="T1"><label>Table 1</label><caption><p>Genomic <italic>Citrus clementina </italic>BAC Libraries</p></caption><table frame="hsides" rules="groups"><thead><tr><td align="left">Library</td><td align="left">CCL1</td><td align="left">CCER1</td><td align="left">CCH3</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td align="left">Vector</td><td align="left">pECBAC1</td><td align="left">pECBAC1</td><td align="left">pECBAC1</td></tr><tr><td align="left">Partial digest enzyme</td><td align="left">MboI</td><td align="left">EcoRI</td><td align="left">HindIII</td></tr><tr><td align="left">Cloning site</td><td align="left">BamHI</td><td align="left">EcoRI</td><td align="left">HindIII</td></tr><tr><td align="left">Average insert size</td><td align="left">124 kb</td><td align="left">127 kb</td><td align="left">132 kb</td></tr><tr><td align="left">N° of clones</td><td align="left">19,200</td><td align="left">18,432</td><td align="left">18,432</td></tr><tr><td align="left">Missed wells<sup>a</sup></td><td align="left">0.57%</td><td align="left">0.37%</td><td align="left">0.09%</td></tr><tr><td align="left">Blue colonies<sup>b</sup></td><td align="left">0.78%</td><td align="left">1.46%</td><td align="left">0.19%</td></tr></tbody></table><table-wrap-foot><p><sup>a </sup>No bacterial growth detected</p><p><sup>b </sup>Presence of vector but no insert</p></table-wrap-foot></table-wrap><p>In order to evaluate the average BAC insert size, 362 BAC clones (about 120 clones from each library) were randomly chosen and the corresponding DNA was extracted, digested with the rare cutter <italic>Not</italic>I enzyme and analyzed by PFGE.

BLASTX search performed to identify coding regions (see next section), showed that 2,173 additional sequences not detected by RepeatMasker also presented high significant similarity to transposable elements (TEs) and, therefore, are also part of the repetitive DNA fraction of the genome. Thus, the number of BESs with interspersed repeats rose to 11,791, approximately a 25% of the total reads, a percentage between those found for <italic>Carica papaya </italic>(16%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>] or <italic>Musa acuminata </italic>(36%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B21">21</xref>]. No significant differences between the 3 BAC libraries were found when the number of BESs carrying repetitive elements was compared (see Additional File <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>). The sequence length occupied by transposon elements (TEs) including the additional reads identified through homology search was in this way increased to 3.58 Mb, a fraction corresponding to 12.6% of the total BAC end sequences. This fraction was rather similar to the ratio reported for <italic>Brassica rapa </italic>(13.8%) in an estimation also based on partial sequencing [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B22">22</xref>]. Comparisons with the percentages found in fully sequenced genomes showed that the relative occurrence of TEs in Clementine was also similar to the fractions found in Arabidopsis (10%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>] and black cottonwood (12.6%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>] and lower than in rice (35%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">19</xref>] and grapevine (38.8%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">42</xref>]. Although the proportion of the different TEs largely varied, in all these species, as well as in <italic>C. clementina</italic>, class I elements (including LINE, Gypsy-like and Copia-like elements) were predominant over class II (including CACTA, MULE and hAT elements). In comparison with the above sequenced plants, the occurrence of Mutator-like, LINEs, Cacta, and Gypsy elements, represented as the percentage of occupied sequence, was in general lower in the genome of <italic>C. clementina</italic>. In contrast, copia-like elements were relatively more abundant in Clementine than in <italic>Arabidopsis</italic>, rice and poplar (Figure <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">2</xref>). The abundance of these elements in citrus has previously been estimated to be relatively high (13%) [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B43">43</xref>], while the data obtained through partial sequencing in this study suggested a lower preponderance (3.9%; Table III).

The BLASTX search identified 14,030 BES (36% of the total BESs) with significant protein hits, while the BLASTN search revealed a similar number of reads, i.e. 14,023 reads that rendered significant homology with 40,536 citrus ESTs. Overall, 20,185 BESs produced BLASTX and/or BLASN hits, and the 3 BAC libraries rendered a similar number of clones carrying potential coding regions (see Additional File <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S1">1</xref>). The total number of BAC clones that produced protein and/or EST hits was 15.658, while 4,527 of them provided hits in both 5' and 3' ends, an observation that suggested high gene contents in these BAC clones and indeed their possible location at the euchromatin. It was also found that 7,868 BES produced hits for both proteins and ESTs, strongly indicating that they contained active transcription units.</p><p>Assuming that each significant BLAST hit corresponds to a different transcription unit, the total number of hypothetical genes described in the BAC ends was 20,185.

In order to identify possible polymorphisms affecting the assembly of the readings and the construction of the physical map of this species, a BLASTN search of all the contigs and singlets was performed against themselves. One hundred thirty sequence pairs that presented a single reciprocal BLASTN hit and the same protein hit from the previous BLASTX search (identical accession number) were selected for further analysis. A total of 81 pairs displayed sequence identities higher than 90% and were considered as originated from the same genomic region. These sequences were not assembled in the same contig due to the presence of polymorphisms, similarly to what was reported in the sequencing of the highly heterozygous grapevine variety, Pinot Noir [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B57">57</xref>].</p><p>The contigs generated in the assembly were analyzed in order to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the diploid genome of <italic>C.

SNPs are the most abundant and powerful polymorphic markers, since they provide gene-based markers that can be used in the creation of dense genetic linkage maps [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B58">58</xref>] and, more important, in the identification of genes associated with specific trait loci. BAC end sequences of heterozygous genotypes have also been successfully utilized in SNP discovery and construction of linkage maps [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B59">59</xref>-<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B61">61</xref>]. PolyBayes [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B62">62</xref>], a software designed to use genomic sequence as a template and base quality values to discern true allelic variations from sequencing errors, was used to reveal SNP polymorphisms. The number of putative SNPs identified in the Clementine sequences that showed P ≥ 0.9 and SNP depth lower than 10 was 6,617, corresponding to 1.08 SNPs per kb. PolyBayes has been successfully utilized in automated high throughput identification of SNPs from EST collections, and it has been shown that when using P ≥ 0.95, 85% of the predicted SNPs are generally validated experimentally [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B63">63</xref>].</p><p>In order to test the accuracy of the SNP prediction carried out, a total of 30 polymorphisms were randomly chosen for experimental validation. Primers were designed on the consensus sequence of the contigs, in order to amplify the region containing the SNP. Out of 30 genomic regions, 3 produced two or more bands in the PCR amplification or yielded sequence reads with a mixture of templates. This observation constitutes a first indication of the level of heterozygosity of the Clementine genome. Furthermore, the sequence analysis of the remaining SNP candidates showed that 24 out of the 27 hypothetical polymorphisms, an 88.9% success rate, were certainly validated (see Additional File <xref ref-type="supplementary-material" rid="S3">3</xref>). Considering the reliability of the prediction method, more than 5000 putative polymorphisms with P ≥ 0.95 were found in this work.

[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>], we used forward and reverse BES read pairs separated by the approximate length of BAC clone inserts (~120 kb), to analyze the microsynteny between <italic>C. clementina </italic>and Arabidopsis, rice and poplar. To be considered as potentially collinear with the target genome, the citrus mate pairs had to map in the heterologous genome into a region comprised between 10 and 300 kb and be also oriented properly. The analyses of the sequences identified 108 Clementine BAC end pairs that met these criteria in poplar, while no one was found in Arabidopsis or rice. Furthermore, the majority of these BES pairs mapped on the <italic>Populus </italic>genome at a distance similar to the insert size of the Clementine libraries, suggesting the microsynteny between citrus and poplar is higher than between citrus and Arabidopsis. These results are striking since <italic>C. clementina </italic>and <italic>A. thaliana </italic>belong to Sapindales and Brassicales orders (eurosids II clade) that probably split approximately 87 MYA, while <italic>P. trichocarpa </italic>belongs to Malpighiales order, (eurosids I clade) that diverged from eurosids II around 109 MYA [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B64">64</xref>]. Moreover, similar results were obtained by Lai et al [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B20">20</xref>] with papaya, that also exhibited higher level of colinearity with the poplar than with the Arabidopsis genome despite that <italic>C. papaya </italic>is a basal member of the Brassicales. Although a definitive explanation has not been provided yet, it is currently believed that the genome of <italic>A. thaliana </italic>has undergone a recent whole genome duplication, followed by subsequent gene losses and extensive local gene duplications [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">18</xref>], which might be responsible of the lack of colinearity with other eurosid II species. Comparative genomics with the recently sequenced genome of the grapevine, provides additional evidence that the genome of Arabidopsis has been thoroughly rearranged as related to an ancient angiosperm genome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B42">42</xref>]. The fact that papaya, Clementine, grapevine and poplar are long lived, clonally propagated, woody plants, might apparently cause a deceleration of their molecular clocks, resulting in genomes with higher resemblance to the ancestral eurosids genome [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">17</xref>].</p></sec></sec><sec><title>Conclusion</title><p>We report here the construction of three genomic BAC libraries of <italic>Citrus clementina</italic>, with three restriction enzymes (<italic>Eco</italic>RI, <italic>Mbo</italic>I and <italic>Hind</italic>III).
