Chapter 11 in The Handbook of Global Agricultural Markets, 2014, pp 274-288 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Advances in genomics, the study of all the genetic material (i.e., the genome) of an organism, have been remarkable in recent years.1 Publication of the first draft of the human genome in 2001 was a milestone, quickly followed by that of the first crop (rice) in 2002 and the first farm animal (chicken) in 2004. Huge technological advancements have meant that sequencing has become dramatically quicker and cheaper over time, so the genomes of many of the important crops, livestock, forest trees, aquatic animals, and agricultural pests are now already sequenced or soon will be.2
