Abstract
Modern sequencing technologies allow the sequencing of thousands of millions of nucleotide bases in each run. The data explosion is likely to continue with the further development of second generation and third generation sequencing methods over the coming years. Availability of high density molecular markers enable to quickly map agronomically desirable traits and to identify candidate genes within a region of interest thus creating new opportunities for crop improvement in yield, quality, tolerance to unfavourable environmental conditions and resistance to diseases.
