Bread matters: a national initiative to profile the genetic diversity of Australian wheat.

摘要: The large and complex genome of wheat makes genetic genomic analysis in this important species both expensive resource intensive. application next-generation sequencing technologies is particularly intensive, with at least 17 Gbp sequence data required to obtain minimal (1×) coverage the genome. A similar volume would represent almost 40× rice Progress can be made through establishment consortia produce shared resources. Australian researchers, working Bioplatforms Australia, have collaborated a national initiative establish diversity dataset representing germplasm based on whole data. Here, we describe validation which provide model for broader international initiatives genomes.
