Reference Sequence by Chromosome

The IWGSC has coordinated and endorsed projects to generate reference sequences for the 21 bread wheat chromosomes.

In 2006, the IWGSC adopted a chromosome-by-chromosome sequencing strategy based on physical maps and divided the work among 20 participating countries. 

Individual chromosomes and chromosomes arms were separated by flow cytometry, BAC libraries were generated and fingerprinted to produce physical maps and minimum tiling paths were then sequenced and assembled.
