A new work called “Chromosome-scale assembly of the wild wheat relative Aegilops umbellulata” has been published in Nature. The data for the genome of Aegilops umbellulata is hosted at the Persephone web portal. Two of our colleagues (Maxim Troukhan and Maksym Kravchuk) from Persephone Software are among the authors of this publication. The construction of a chromosome-scale reference assembly of Ae. umbellulata accession TA1851 has been based on corrected PacBio HiFi reads and chromosome conformation capture.

The screenshots from Persephone show the alignment of Ae.umbellulata and bread wheat genomes using the ortholog gene pairs. The “modbam” track shows the CpG methylation profile:
