Common wheat (Triticum aestivum L., 2n = 6x = 42) is one of the most important food crops in the world. The large genome (16 Gb), high proportion of repetitive sequences (> 80%), and hexaploid nature make complete sequencing of the wheat genome a daunting task for even state-of-the-art technologies. In addition to the identification of differentially expressed genes among different phenotypes to understand biological processes, due to the lack of high quality genomic sequence, RNA profiling is a practical approach to surveying the wheat genome. This project aims at establishing common wheat transcriptome analysis pipeline. The goal is to reconstruct wheat transcripts, identification of SNPs and differentially expressed genes among different phenotypes from short reads.
