Wheat assemblies

Ensembl Plants hosts the latest wheat assembly from the IWGSC (RefSeq v1.0), including:

• The IWGSC RefSeq v1.1 gene annotation, with links to wheat-expression.com and KnetMiner
• 5 UK wheat cultivars : Cadenza, Claire, Paragon, Robigus, Weebill
• Alignment of 98,270 high confidence genes from the TGACv1 annotation.
• Axiom 35K, 820K SNP arrays from CerealsDB, including QTL links in selected cases and Linkage Disequilibrium display. See QTL example here.
• EMS-induced mutations from sequenced TILLING populations of Cadenza (coding regions) and Kronos (coding regions and promoters).
• Inter-Homeologous Variants (IHVs) between the A, B and D genome components.
• Chromosome specific KASP markers were added from the Nottingham BBSRC Wheat Research Centre.
• Whole genome alignments to rice, brachypodium and barley.
• Assembly-to-assembly mapping and gene ID mapping to the previous TGAC v1 assembly, archived at eg37-plants.ensembl.org
• Polyploid view enabled, allowing users to view alignments among multiple wheat components simultaneously
• Durum wheat 35K, 90K, 820K and TaBW280K variants
