De novo annotation reveals transcriptomic complexity across the hexaploid wheat pan-genome - Nature Communications
Available wheat genomes are annotated by projecting Chinese Spring gene models across the new assemblies. Here, the authors generate de novo gene annotations for the 9 wheat genomes, identify core and dispensable transcriptome, and reveal conservation and divergence of gene expression balance across homoeologous subgenomes.
@earlhaminst.bsky.social📃 New research published today in @natcomms.nature.com from the Earlham Institute and @helmholtzmunich.bsky.social presents the first wheat pan-transcriptome - revealing layers of hidden diversity spanning our modern wheat variations. 🧪

New wheat diversity discovery could provide an urgently-needed solution to global food security
Newly-discovered diversity in the wheat genome could offer vital new opportunities to improve and ‘climate-proof’ one of the world’s most important staple crops.
