IWGSC REFSEQ ASSEMBLY AND ANNOTATION UPDATES FOLLOWING THE RELEASE OF IWGSC REFSEQ V2.0 IN JULY 2019, THE IWGSC TEAMS CONTINUED UPDATING AND IMPROVING THE REFERENCE SEQUENCE ASSEMBLY AND ANNOTATION BY INCORPORATING ADDITIONAL DATASETS, WITH NEW DE NOVO ANNOTATION OF TRANSPOSABLE ELEMENTS AND MAPPING OF KEY MARKER SETS, AS WELL AS INTEGRATION OF MANUALLY CURATED GENES SUBMITTED FROM THE WHEAT COMMUNITY. IN ADDITION, WE WORKED ON THE IWGSC WHET DIVERSITY PROJECT WHEREIN A CORE SET OF EIGHT LANDRACES WILL BE SEQUENCED AT A HIGH QUALITY. ELITE AND FOUNDER LINES, SEQUENCED TO VARYING LEVELS OF QUALITY, AS WELL AS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SEQUENCES WILL BE ADDED TO THE DATASET ONCE THE PROJECT IS COMPLETED. IWGSC COLLABORATED WITH ARBOR BIOSCIENCES TO DESIGN A PROMOTER CAPTURE THAT WILL BE READY FOR RELEASE IN LATE SPRING OF 2021. THE IWGSD HELD 2 WORKSHOPS IN 2020 PRIOR TO THE COVID-19 QUARANTINE. AS A RESPONSE TO THE INABILITY TO CONDUCT IN-PERSON WORKSHOPS, THE IWGSC BEGAN ORGANIZING WEBINARS TO CONNECT MORE WIDELY WITH THE WHEAT COMMUNITY. IN 2020, THE IWGSC ORGANIZED 10 WEBINARS WHICH ARE FREE OF CHARGE AND AVAILABLE ON THE IWGSC YOUTUBE CHANNEL. IN 2020 THE IWGSC HAD 3,200 MEMBERS, 884 INSTITUTION MEMBERS REPRESENTING 7 COUNTRIES. THE IWGSC WHEAT GENOME SEQUENCE WAS CITED IN 239 PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC JOURNAL ARTICLES.
