Plant Omics : Advances in Big Data Biology

This book provides a comprehensive overview of plant omics and big data in the fields of plant and crop biology.It discusses each omics layer individually, including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and covers model and non-model species.In a section on advanced topics, it considers developments in each specialized domain, including genome editing and enhanced breeding strategies (such as genomic selection and high-throughput phenotyping), with the aim of providing tools to help tackle global food security issues.The importance of online resources in big data biology are highlighted in a section summarizing both wet- and dry-biological portals.This section introduces biological resources, datasets, online bioinformatics tools and approaches that are in the public domain.This title: reviews each omics layer individually; focuses on new advanced research domains and technology; and summarizes publicly available experimental and informatics resources.This book is for students, engineers, researchers and academics in plant biology, genetics, biotechnology and bioinformatics.
