SUMMARY:Sequencing/genotyping the wheat genome - Keith Edwards\, Bristol U
 niversity
DTSTART:20121025T120000Z
DTEND:20121025T130000Z
UID:TALK39033@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Jill Harrison
DESCRIPTION:In August 2010\, Liverpool and Bristol\, together with the Joh
 n Innes Institute released sequence data covering ~95% of the wheat genome
 . In the two years since this public release\, the sequences have been use
 d by academic/industrial researchers to both understand the structure of t
 he allohexaploid wheat genome and to develop new tools\, which can be used
  to increase yield and profitability. In my talk I will discuss how the wh
 eat genome might be changing under current selection pressures. In additio
 n\, I will also discuss our ongoing work\, primarily directed at helping U
 K wheat breeders to generate the next generation of wheat varieties.
