Next Generation Sequencing Data Analysis and its Applications in Agriculture

Next Generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are revolutionizing the acquisition of genomic data at relatively low cost. NGS technologies are rapidly changing approaches to complex genomic studies and generating a vast amount of data. New and more powerful bioinformatics proposals and tools are needed to handle such large biological collections of such huge amounts of data provided by NGS data analysis. In addition, specialized software tools and advanced computational resources are required for data integration. In this article, we are describing here the main computational approach for next generation sequencing data analysis and its role in agriculture for crop improvement.
