IWGSC Sequence Repository : Blast Your Favorite Gene Against the Wheat Survey Sequence

URGI is a research unit in genomics and bioinformatics at INRA (French National institute for Agricultural Research), dedicated to plants and crop parasites. We develop and maintain a genomic and genetic information system called GnpIS (http://urgi.versailles.inra.fr/gnpis/), especially for wheat.

In the frame of the IWGSC (International Wheat Genome Consortium: http://www.wheatgenome.org/) sequence survey initiative, we set up a sequence repository.

It allows to blast your favorite sequence against the wheat survey sequence assembies and dowload the related contig. It is also possible to download the chromosome assemblies and the preliminary genome zipper (vitual gene order).

Moreover this repository is integrated in GnpIS to access easily to wheat genomic and genetic data such as physical and genetic mapping, genomic annotations, polymorphisms and genetic resources data.

All the wheat chromosomes are now available:
