ABSTRACT=<p><italic>Populus trichocarpa</italic> is an important biofuel feedstock that has been the target of extensive research and is emerging as a model organism for plants, especially woody perennials. This research has generated several large ‘omics datasets. However, only few studies in <italic>Populus</italic> have attempted to integrate various data types. This review will summarize various ‘omics data layers, focusing on their application in <italic>Populus</italic> species. Subsequently, network and signal processing techniques for the integration and analysis of these data types will be discussed, with particular reference to examples in <italic>Populus</italic>.</p>
