DESCRIPTION:Ensembl Plants is a genome centric platform for visualisation 
 and analysis of plant genomics data\, with over 100 species currently disp
 layed (May 2022). The Ensembl platform is used to access and visualize gen
 omes through our web browser\, API and BioMart tools. We also provide comp
 arative genomics and variation effect predictions to support functional an
 alyses.\n\nWe currently host the wheat Pan Genome (http://www.10wheatgenom
 es.com/)\, with genes projected from the reference IWGSC assembly v1.0 and
  de novo genes for nine of the chromosome level assemblies.  In addition t
 o displaying these genomes in our genome browser we have run our compariso
 n analysis pipeline (Compara) to create a wheat specific gene tree which i
 ncludes the de novo genes and also genes from other wheat relatives and pr
 ogenitors. We are currently working on multiple whole genome alignments fo
 r the wheat cultivars which will be a useful resource for wheat breeders a
 nd scientists.\n\nThis talk will give an overall view of Ensembl and how t
 o use it\, with an emphasis on wheat and the wheat pan genome.\n\nDue to h
 aving to go online\, we are restricting the talks to University of Cambrid
 ge and alumni to keep them as informal as possible.\n\nContact reception@p
 lantsci.cam.ac.uk for a Zoom link prior to a talk if you are not on our ma
 iling list.\n
