Abstract

One component of this project will be to generate a high quality sequence for chromosome 1A of bread wheat cv. Chinese Spring using a combination of Roche 454/Illumina sequencing platforms. This activity is a contribution by Canada to the IWGSC's goal of achieving a reference sequence of bread wheat.
