Wheat 3B Annotation Viewer: Browse the 3B Annotated Reference Sequence Linked to the Genetic and Physical Maps

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, especially for wheat.

In the umbrella of the IWGSC (International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium), we set up a Sequence Repository on the Wheat@URGI website to store and browse the wheat survey and reference sequences (http://wheat-urgi.versailles.inra.fr/Seq-Repository).

The 3B Sequencing project (French ANR 3BSEQ) provides an “Annotation-directed improved high-quality draft” of the 3B reference sequence.

We set up a browser, using the well-known GMOD GBrowse2 tool, to display the sequence, genes, transposable elements, but also the physical BACs and the genetic mapping data.
