IWGSC Sequence Repository at URGI: New Features and Blast Tool

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, and the physical maps: http://wheat-urgi.versailles.inra.fr/Seq-Repository.

I will highlight the new features and data available in the Sequence Repository.

Especially, I will focus on the new public Blast tool to search in the survey sequence.
