title: Genomic sequencing of Hexaploid Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum): leaf tissue from young seedlings
design: The 10+ Wheat Genome Consortium (www.10wheatgenomes.com) is a global partnership that leverages collaborative expertise and funding with the aim to characterize the wheat pan genome. In addition to assembled genomes it will also generate annotated gene models based on electronic prediction and experiment transcriptome data. This research partnership will also build the most comprehensive functional analysis of the pan genome, by comparing gene expression (transcription) networks throughout plant development. The partnership will generate at many high quality wheat genome assemblies and develop strategies and resources to compare multiple wheat genome sequences from around the globe.
