Unveiling the Secrets of Agricultural Genomics: Harnessing the Power of Long-Read Sequencing
Introduction:
Agricultural genomics (agri-genomics) has several uses in agriculture, which gives it a lot of significance. Researchers may tackle a variety of agricultural problems by utilizing the potential of genomics, such as protecting genetic diversity, raising crop output, crop quality, environmental adaptation, creating disease-resistant cultivars, and increasing insect resistance. Understanding agri-genomics enables scientists to unravel the genetic basis of desirable traits and develop targeted strategies for crop improvement. The need for long-read sequencing arises from the limitations of short-read sequencing in addressing the complex challenges of agri-genomics.
