Welcome to CerealsDB

The CerealsDB (Cereals Data Base) web-site is created and maintained by members of the Functional Genomics Group at the University of Bristol. The site provides a range of facilities for the study of the wheat genome.

KASPar probes based on SNPs in wheat

We are currently optimising KASPar technology in order to develop a SNPs database for wheat: KASPar technology facilitates high throughput array based detection of sequence polymorhpisms.

Draft genome assembly

A draft wheat genome assembly based on 5x coverage of 454 reads can be BLAST searched. Alternatively, the raw 454 reads may be searched using the same link.

Downloadable genome sequence reads

Over 85 gigabases of genomic 454 sequences (equivalent to 5x genome coverage) of Chinese Spring is available to be downloaded.


These publicly funded resources are available for the scientific community as an 'on line' searchable database.
