As part of a BBSRC funded program to discover useful sequence polymorphisms
in bread wheat (see news article)
we have sequenced the wheat variety
Chinese spring using Roche 454 technology.
The raw sequence reads can be searched using the BLAST form below.
This project is a collaboration between the Universities of Bristol and Liverpool
together with the John Innes centre in Norwich.
As of August 2010, the data represents 5x genome coverage.
At this level of coverage we would expect to have at least one read for
> 95% of the genome. We are now moving on to sequence four UK wheat varieties to 30x
coverage on the SOLiD platform for SNP discovery.
The CS genome will act as the reference for the SOLiD reads.
