Abstract:
Advances in next-generation sequencing technologies and the lower sequencing costs are paving the way to more plant genome sequencing, assembly, and annotation projects. While genome assembly is the first step toward elucidating the genome structure of a species, it is the annotation of the protein-coding genes that provide meaningful information to biologists. However, genome annotation is not a trivial task. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to provide a detailed view of this important process, including tools and commands that can be used to carry out such a process.

Transgenic Plants
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
