The IWGSC Data repository and wheat data resources hosted at URGI: Overview and perspectives

URGI is a genomics and bioinformatics research unit at INRA (French National institute for Agricultural Research) dedicated to plants and crop parasites. We develop and maintain a genomic and genetic Information System called GnpIS that manages multiple types of wheat data.\nUnder the umbrella of the IWGSC (International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium), we have set up a Data Repository in the Wheat@URGI portal:\nhttp://wheat-urgi.versailles.inra.fr/Seq-Repository\nto store, browse and query the data being generated by the consortium and especially the wheat reference sequence (IWGSC RefSeq v1.0) and all related annotation data.\nWe will give an overview of the wheat genomic, genetic and phenomic data available and suggest ways to develop the database in the future.
