Hot Topics
Barley SNP Database
SNPs in Affymetrix Barley Contigs (ABCs), with map positions.
Barley CAP
The barley Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP) is a community effort of
30 scientists from 19 US institutions, to integrate and utilize
state-of-the-art genomic tools and approaches in barley breeding programs.
News about the project is posted at http://www.barleycap.org/news.htm.
Ug99, new virulent race of stem rust from East Africa

European Triticeae Genomics Initiative (ETGI)
ETGI coordinates European efforts in barley and wheat physical mapping,
sequencing, high resolution genetic mapping, and development of populations
for trait mapping with QTLs and association genetics.
fusarium-net.org
The website of the Global Fusarium Initiative (GFI), a platform for
international collaboration on Fusarium head blight.
International
Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium (WGSC)
Established to facilitate and coordinate international efforts
toward obtaining the complete sequence of the common (hexaploid) wheat genome.
WIRE, the Wheat Information REsource
The site for an NSF-supported wheat
mutagenesis project, using the DEALING (DEtecting Adduct Lesions IN the
Genome) technology. The project and the site are still new, but there are diamonds here already.

Physical Mapping of the Barley Genome
This database of Hordeum vulgare cv. Morex BAC contigs,
assembled via FPC, currently contains 22,000 clones assembled in 2300
contigs, corresponding to about 1/3 of the barley gene space. Data on
thousands of markers (cDNAs, gene fragments and overgo probes) mapped to the
BAC clones will be added soon.
Rice chromosomes vs. cereal genes
Physical (BAC/PAC) map of japonica chromosomes, aligned by BLAST with
mapped contigs and singletons from the NSF wheat EST project,
with contigs and singletons from the Wheat SNP project, and
with GenBank protein sequences of wheat, barley, rye, oat, and rice.
