Cereal Genomics published in 2004 served the purpose of
collecting all information on cereal genomics at one place and was
well received by the cereal workers through-out the world. The last
eight years have witnessed significant advancement in the field of
cereal genomics. For instance, high-density genetic maps, physical
maps, QTL maps and even draft genome sequence have become available
for several cereal species. Furthermore, the next generation
sequencing (NGS) technologies have revolutionized genomics
research, so that it is possible now to sequence genomes of
hundreds or thousands of accessions of an individual cereal crop.
Significant amounts of data generated using these NGS technologies
created a demand for computational tools to analyse this massive
data. In view of these developments, the Editors realised that
there was a need to have an updated volume on the present status
and future prospects of cereal genomics. These developments related
to technology and the tools have been documented in this volume,
thus supplementing our earlier edited volume Cereal Genomics .
Cereal Genomics II discusses advances in cereal genomics research
made during the last eight years, and presents state-of-art cereal
genomics and its utilization involving both basic research such as
comparative genomics and functional genomics, and applied research
like QTL mapping and molecular breeding.
