Notes On Wheat

2018-01-11

Did an internal hackathon oriented on Wheat at work. We dedicate a week for mini projects to try to churn up new ideas. I like wheat - it makes cool stuff like bread and cake, and it's really beautiful to drive by like I used to when I lived in Moscow. If it tickles your interest, you can pull a lot of data from the sites I linked. For the scientifically minded, the genome sequencing and studying work is still heavily ongoing. Plants have really weird genetics, and wheat has different "ploidies", depending on the variant. I'd have to ask a plant geneticist about the details there.
