Summit Wheat Genome Assembly with Prolamin Gene Annotations

A 14.52 Gb de novo genome assembly for the Summit wheat cultivar, scaffolded into 21 pseudomolecules. The assembly includes manual curation identifying 78 complete prolamin genes and 67 putative pseudogenes. Maria G. Rottersman deposited the data in NCBI BioProject PRJNA1438777 in 2026.

Use Cases

• Mapping fast neutron-induced deletions based on the provided genome assembly.
• Studying gluten protein gene families based on the annotated 78 complete prolamin genes.
• Developing molecular markers for breeding based on the Summit-specific genome sequence.
• Comparing prolamin loci across wheat varieties using the transferred gene models from the Chinese Spring reference.

Strengths

• Genome assembly totals 14.52 Gb across 21 pseudomolecules, derived from ~398 Gb of PacBio HiFi sequencing data.
• Manual curation identified a specific inventory of 78 complete prolamin genes, including 5 HMW-GS, 13 LMW-GS, and various gliadins.
• Represents the first genome assembly for the Summit wheat cultivar, providing a specific reference framework.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset size is listed as 0.0 B, indicating a very limited scope or potential metadata issue.
