Ebook: Legume Genomics: Methods and Protocols

This volume looks at the latest techniques used by researchers to help them understand the biology of various cellular processes and agronomic traits, and come up with better strategies to improve legume crops. The chapters in this book cover topics such as legume genomic resources; legume pangenome and organelle genome construction; transcriptome analysis; DNA methylation analysis; double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing; target enrichment sequencing via probe capture; genomic selection and transformation methods; prediction of long non-coding RNAs and secondary structures; genome-wide mining of disease resistance gene analogs; genome editing, and bioactive compound and phosphoproteome analysis. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Cutting-edge and informative, Legume Genomics: Methods and Protocols is a useful reference for genomicists, molecular breeders, plant molecular biologists, biotechnologists, computational biologists, and developmental biologists. This book is also an excellent resource for any novice and expert researcher involved in various molecular aspects of legume biology or general plant studies.
