GrainGenes: centralized small grain resources and digital platform for geneticists and breeders

AbstractGrainGenes (https://wheat.pw.usda.gov orhttps://graingenes.org) is an international centralized repository for curated, peer-reviewed datasets useful to researchers working on wheat, barley, rye and oat. GrainGenes manages genomic, genetic, germplasm and phenotypic datasets through a dynamically generated web interface for facilitated data discovery. Since 1992, GrainGenes has served geneticists and breeders in both the public and private sectors on six continents. Recently, several new datasets were curated into the database along with new tools for analysis. The GrainGenes homepage was enhanced by making it more visually intuitive and by adding links to commonly used pages. Several genome assemblies and genomic tracks are displayed through the genome browsers at GrainGenes, including theTriticum aestivum (bread wheat) cv. ‘Chinese Spring’ IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 genome assembly, theAegilops tauschii (D genome progenitor) Aet v4.0 genome assembly, theTriticum turgidum ssp. dicoccoides (wild emmer wheat) cv. ‘Zavitan’ WEWSeq v.1.0 genome assembly, aT. aestivum (bread wheat) pangenome, theHordeum vulgare (barley) cv. ‘Morex’ IBSC genome assembly, theSecale cereale (rye) select ‘Lo7’ assembly, a partial hexaploidAvena sativa (oat) assembly and theTriticum durum cv. ‘Svevo’ (durum wheat) RefSeq Release 1.0 assembly. New genetic maps and markers were added and can be displayed through CMAP. Quantitative trait loci, genetic maps and genes from the Wheat Gene ...
