Plant Omics: Advances in Big Data Biology

Yano, Kentaro: - Dr. Kentaro Yano is a professor in the School of Agriculture at Meiji University, Japan. After receiving a PhD degree from Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University, he has been working on big data integration to advance the plant omics research. His group has developed knowledge-based databases (e.g., TOMATOMICS, PODC) that integrates high-quality expression data from re-analysis of public datasets and the literature curated information on genes in crops and model plants through natural language processing.
