Plant Genomics

Precise editing of plant genomes is a ground-breaking new technology that enables for precise changes in plant genomes to speed up the discovery and commercialization of new agricultural products. Plant genome sequences and annotations predict 30,000–40,000 protein-coding genes and a large number of non-protein-coding genes that code for microRNAs, non-coding long and short RNAs. The biological activities of these genes, on the other hand, remain mysterious. More genomes and transcriptomics datasets have been generated in recent years as a result of developments in next-generation sequencing technologies and bioinformatics tools. This rapidly developing discipline enables scientists to evaluate thousands of genes at once in order to understand the genetic architecture of plant genomes and isolate important genes. Plant genomics researchers use sequencing and characterisation to investigate the genetic compositions, structures, organizations, functions, and genetic relationships of a whole plant genome. Plant genomics-related technology have lately improved dramatically, in addition to being more affordable, and novel approaches such as gene editing have further changed the area.
