Diversity Project

The aim of this project is to characterize the breadth of worldwide wheat diversity

In this project, the genomes of eight to twelve landraces, representing the full breadth of genetic diversity in wheat (as described by Balfourier, et al.), will be sequenced at high quality. These, in conjunction with the IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 and subsequent versions, will serve as the foundation for the diversity panel and haplotype map. Lower quality genome sequences of other landraces and elite lines will be added as available to capture modern genetic diversity, including alien introgressions.
