Wheat Genomics for Agriculture

The IWGSC has led the effort to develop a reference sequence of the large (17Gb), complex (hexaploid), bread wheat genome. The "Wheat genomics for agriculture"workshop includes presentations that cross-over from the genome sequencing technologies to the study of specific genome regions important in agriculture. The focus is on the application of genomic tools/resources to discover new genes and the development of platforms to access the rapidly expanding number of datasets available to researchers and breeders for wheat improvement.
