March 2021: New YouTube Tutorial - Using CMap to Improve Marker Density around a Gene of Interest

GrainGenes has published a new tutorial on the GrainGenes Classic channel on YouTube entitled
"Using CMap to Improve Marker Density around a Gene of Interest".
This lesson will guide you though the CMap tool to add co-localizing markers from a consensus map to a mapped gene from an older paper.

October 2020: Frost Resistance gene class curated from Wheat Gene Catalogue

The following gene class has been added to GrainGenes, based on the information in the Wheat Gene Catalogue (WGC). This includes all genes, along with any associated alleles, references, loci, germplasm sources:
Frost tolerance or resistance is the ability of a plant to survive freezing temperatures, and is an important part of winter hardiness. A lack of frost resistance is considered as a major factor limiting cultivation of winter wheat (Wurschum et al., 2017).
