  3. Additional RNA-Seq data aligned to bread wheat as well as to its wild progenitors.
  4. Wheat UniGene clusters sequences aligned to bread wheat as well as to its wild progenitors.
  5. Updated gene-trees to include bread wheat gene models.
  6. Updated (TREP) repeat analysis for wheat and barley genomes.
  7. Updated functional domain (InterPro) and ontology (InterPro2GO) annotation.
  8. Updated BioMart databases.
  9. Gramene genome browser, database schema and API updated to Ensembl version 74.
