May 2020: Barley cv. Morex, version MorexV2 by TRITEX Genome Browser and Probe/Locus pages

Barley cv. Morex, version MorexV2 by TRITEX genome browser is available at GrainGenes at https://wheat.pw.usda.gov/jb/?data=%2Fggds%2Fbar-morex2.

The pseudomolecules and track information are taken from Monat et al. 2019.

We also created probe and locus pages with cross-links to and from the genome browser. For example:

https://wheat.pw.usda.gov/cgi-bin/GG3/report.cgi?class=locus;name=HORVU....

CAVEAT on the nomenclature: MorexV1 was used to refer to the BAC-based reference genome (Mascher et al. 2017, Nature) and MorexV2 to refer to the WGS assembly (Monat et al. 2019). EnsemblPlant uses the names IBSC_v1 to refer to the draft assembly of IBSC, Nature 2012 and IBSC_v2 to the BAC-based reference. MorexV2 is not yet in EnsemblPlants as of May 2020. So IBSC_v2 is MorexV1.
