Abstract

The genomics revolution brought on by advances in high-throughput sequencing has led to the production of vast amounts of data. Databases play an essential role in storing and managing this information to make it available to researchers and crop breeders. This chapter provides an outline of how to use databases and tools for wheat genome research.
