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.

Despre autor

Dr. Kentaro Yano is a professor in the School of Agriculture at Meiji University, Japan. After receiving a Ph D degree from Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, he has been working on big data integration to advance the plant omics research. His group has developed knowledge-based databases (e.g., TOMATOMICS, PODC) that integrates high-quality expression data from re-analysis of public datasets and the literature curated information on genes in crops and model plants through natural language processing.
