Grassroots Genomics

Grassroots Genomics consolidates data and analyses, facilitating consistent approaches to generating, processing and disseminating public wheat datasets.

The Grassroots Genomics platform is powered by a powerful yet lightweight set of middleware services, called the Grassroots Infrastructure, which comprises: 

  • a data management layer to provide structure to unstructured filesystems; 
  • interfaces to interact with local or cloud-based analysis platforms; 
  • a search layer to provide multi-faceted metadata and literature querying; a web server layer to deliver content and provide access to public programmatic interfaces.

Grassroots Genomics aims to connect data generators and data users, providing an information-rich data sharing and analysis platform that will enhance the value of available wheat genomic resources.  

We are committed to maintaining and promoting the principles of Open Data to enable discoveries, and to enhance the value of integrative research, and work with wheat communities and technologists to deliver a coordinated and federated infrastructure.
