Assembly of Triticum aestivum cv. 'Julius' as part of the 10+ Wheat Genomes Project.

The 10+ Wheat Genome Project has completed its goal of generating chromosome pseudomolecule assemblies for 10 wheat cultivars and 5 scaffold assemblies. These cultivars were selected by each of the global partners to represent genetic diversity typical of breeding programs in their agroecological zones. The genome assembly of cultivar 'Julius' is part of and has been submitted on behalf of the 10+ wheat genomes project. This genome sequence has been assembled to reference quality using the NRgene DeNovo Magic 3.0 software. Origin of Pedigree Asketis/Drifter was Germany with growth habitat winter. The following persons significantly contributed to the genome assembly process: Klaus F. X. Mayer (PI), Nils Stein (PI), Martin Mascher, Cecile Monat and Uwe Scholz
