Abstract

Over the last few decades, next-generation sequencing has revolutionized the way that genetic diversity is preserved, studied, and used. Maize, because it is one of the most important crops in the world, has been at the cutting edge in the application of these new technologies. Recently, several different platforms have been used to explore the diversity of the maize genome and its connection to observed phenotypes. This chapter presents a summary of the most successful platforms to date. As technology improves at a rapid rate, generating new and more complex data, researchers need new tools to optimize the use of resources to explore maize germplasm for genomics and breeding.
