Preface Plant genomics has witnessed a dramatic increase in data production, in particular due to the revolution in sequencing technologies. This volume of Methods in Molecular Biology introduces databases containing the results of this data explosion. Chapters describe database contents as well as typical use cases, written in the spirit of the Series which aims to provide practical guidance and troubleshooting advice. Clearly, an assembled genome sequence is simply a foundation. The challenge for any researcher interested in the biology of a particular plant is to identify the features of the genome that describe this biology. Chapters 1–10 describe databases that primarily present genome sequences, integrated with various features relevant for biology. This includes large databases including data from various species, as well as databases
