This Ensembl Plants pre-site contains the first release of the TGACv1 genome assembly of Triticum aestivum cv. Chinese Spring, generated by The Genome Analysis Centre, Norwich, as part of the BBSRC-funded project, Triticeae Genomics for Sustainable Agriculture. The assembly has an N50 of 88 Kb and a total length of 13.4 Gb in contigs greater than 500 bp. A total of 98,974 genes (99% of the total) annotated on the previously released assembly have been located on the new assembly. Alignments of RNA-seq data from 3 different studies across 18 samples have additionally been located on the new assembly. Data can be searched via gene identifier in the text search box, or via BLAST. Further annotation will be progressively available over the coming months. The main Ensembl Plants site (http://plants.ensembl.org/Triticum_aestivum/Info/Index) continues to offer a more mature set of annotation on an assembly comprising the IWGSC Chromosome Survey Sequence data (IWGSC et al. 2015) supplemented by the chromosome 3B assembly (Choulet et al. 2015).
