The International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (IWGSC) is pleased to announce that announce that version 2 of the reference sequence of bread wheat, IWGSC RefSeq v2.0, is now available at the IWGSC data repository hosted by URGI-INRA.

GrainGenes-T3 Shared Genome Browsers

In a show of close collaboration between two USDA-ARS databases, GrainGenes and the Triticeae Toolbox (T3) decided to maintain shared genome browsers for bread wheat and barley reference genomes (released in July 2019). The Chinese Spring wheat and Morex barley genome browsers will be housed at GrainGenes and will be populated by both teams.
