IWGSC Workshop at PAG 2025

The IWGSC has led the effort to develop a high quality, reference sequence of the large, complex (hexaploid), bread wheat genome: IWGSC RefSeq v1.0 and annotation v1.1 as well as IWGSC RefSeq v2.1 and accompanying annotation. The IWGSC began a new wheat diversity project to bring to platinum quality the reference sequence and 12 landraces that reflect the breadth of wheat diversity. In the IWGSC workshop this year, there will be a key presentation on the genomics of the AE Watkins wheat landrace collection, several talks on advances in functional genomics, as well as a presentation on a snRNA-SEQ atlas. As usual, the workshop also includes the presentation of the IWGSC-Feuillet Early Career Award, Delfi Dorussen,on whether transcriptional compensation facilitates functional redundancy in wheat. This award is given to a young scientist nominated by anyone in the wheat community and selected by the IWGSC leadership in recognition of outstanding achievement.
