Wheat is the number one food crop consumed in the world, and the main source of calories and proteins in human diets.

The availability of a reference genome for a crop helps plant breeders to speed up the development of new improved varieties.

The bread wheat genome is both extremely large and complex. It is more than five times larger than the human genome and comprises 21 chromosomes originating from three individual subgenomes with highly similar gene contents.

Today's bread wheat originates from three ancestral grass species and results from two consecutive hybridizations

Chromosomes are the basic materials used to sequence the bread wheat genome, which has 21 pairs of chromosomes. How can they be separated?
