Yes, NRGene is an Israeli company, so that would make sense. NRGene has a proprietary algorithm that uses a large amount of Illumina sequences to build a pretty good genome assembly. This technology has been used in a few organisms with large genomes, as it has been used in v1.0 of this assembly. However there have been previous, less high quality wheat genome assemblies based on Bacterial Artificial Chromosomes (BACs), and that information has made its way into this assembly too, along with long-distance information from HiC and genetic maps and Bionano technology.
