URGI is a genomics and bioinformatics research unit at INRA (French National institute for Agricultural Research), dedicated to plants and crop parasites. We develop and maintain a genomic and genetic Information System called GnpIS that manages multiple types of wheat data. Under the umbrella of the IWGSC (International Wheat Genome Sequencing Consortium), we have set up a Sequence Repository on the Wheat@URGI website to store, browse and BLAST the data being generated by the wheat genome project: http://wheat-urgi.versailles.inra.fr/Seq-Repository. The repository holds the wheat physical maps, the chromosome survey sequence data for the individual chromosomes of breadwheat, draft sequences for diploid and tetraploid wheats and provides browsable access to the BAC-based reference sequence for chromosome 3B, the first of the chromosomes to be completed by the consortium. I will highlight the new features and data available in the Sequence Repository (e.g., new BLAST functionalities) and, in particular, present what we have done to address needs and concerns raised during the IWGSC S&P workshop last year. In addition, I will open the discussion about the future needs for tools to facilitate the integration of data to produce the reference sequence.
