The book is a compilation of broad applications of Transcriptomics in the current field of science and technology and its impact towards the developmental aspects of crop science and clinical applications. The book focuses on the recent advancements in RNA sequencing technologies and the socio-economic impact with generations of huge transcriptome datasets aimed towards crop improvement against biotic and abiotic stress. Nevertheless, it also discusses the impact of transcriptomics in clinical studies focusing on oncology and therapeutics. The book targets mainly the young minds and provides them a basic understanding of how the omics world is contributing towards developmental aspects of science. Again, the book also discusses the various pros and cons of the myriad of datasets generated by the advanced sequencing platforms. Specifically, Chapter 1, 2, and 6 broadly explain the applications of “Transcriptomics” towards studying various abiotic and biotic stress response studies in plants. Chapter 3 focuses on the importance of the transcriptome datasets in extremophiles and studying their adaptive nature for surviving against environmental cues. Similarly, chapter 4 and 5 along with 7 and 8 emphasize on the importance and advancements in legume crops and millets, respectively, some of which are selectively known to display essential traits against various stress conditions affecting their survival. Lastly, chapters 9 and 10 are based on the promising applications of human transcriptomic studies and its profound application in science aimed towards studying various neurological disorders, diseases, and further advancement in therapeutics. Overall, the book is helpful for researchers, students and academicians for getting a better understanding on the wider-range applications of “Transcriptomic Research.”
