Wheat genome resources

Many other groups provide wheat genome data and tools. If you can't find what you need here, these are good places to look.

Reference genome and annotation

• IWGSC

  International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium: the Chinese Spring reference genome (RefSeq) and its annotation.

• Ensembl Plants: wheat

  Browse and download the reference genome, gene models, variation and comparative genomics.

• URGI (INRAE)

  Hosts the IWGSC data repository, BLAST and wheat genome browsers.

Community databases

• GrainGenes

  Genetic maps, markers, QTL and genome browsers for wheat, barley, oat and their relatives.

• Catalogue of Gene Symbols for Wheat

  The official list of wheat gene names, hosted by GrainGenes. Naming rules are set out in the 2023 nomenclature guidelines.

• WheatIS

  Wheat Information System: one place to search many wheat data resources and tools.

• CerealsDB

  SNP markers and genotyping array data for wheat.

• T3 Wheat

  The Triticeae Toolbox: genotype, phenotype and pedigree data from wheat breeding programmes.

• Gramene

  Comparative genomics across crop and model plant species.

• KnetMiner

  Knowledge graphs linking wheat genes to traits, pathways and published evidence.

Organisations

• Wheat Initiative

  Coordinates international public wheat research.

• Earlham Institute

  UK genomics institute (formerly TGAC) behind many wheat genome assemblies and tools.
