Transcriptomics

Transcriptomics has become an integral approach in all areas of plant sciences. Advances in plant transcriptomics and new tools and techniques that are taking the ground to excel in this field are the emerging horizons of life sciences. An introduction to plant transcriptomics is provided here, along with a description of the fundamental procedures, tools, and techniques employed in transcriptome analysis. This chapter covers competitive transcriptome analysis, which compares how homologous genes in different species are expressed and the potential of functional genomics and gene regulatory mechanisms.
