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
• Alignment of 98,270 high confidence genes from the TGACv1 annotation.
• The Axiom 35K and 820K SNP arrays from CerealsDB.
• EMS-induced mutations from sequenced TILLING populations (Kronos and Cadenza).
• Inter-Homeologous Variants (IHVs) between the A, B and D genome components.
• Whole genome alignments to rice, brachypodium and barley.
• Assembly to assembly mapping and gene ID mapping to the previous TGAC v1 assembly, which is archived at eg37-plants.ensembl.org.
• Durum wheat 35K, 90K, 820K and TaBW280K variants.
• Polyploid view enabled, allowing users to view alignments among multiple wheat components simultaneously.
