The genomic era has enabled research projects that use approaches including genome-scale screens, microarray analysis, next-generation sequencing, and mass spectrometry–based proteomics to discover genes and proteins involved in biological processes. Such methods generate data sets of gene, transcript, or protein hits that researchers wish to explore to understand their properties and functions and thus their possible roles in biological systems of interest. Recent years have seen a profusion…

This chapter aims to highlight many applications of proteomic-related bioinformatic tools in agriculture in view of trait improvement, disease control and plant disease management, nutritional content, high-performance bioin formatic facilities in agriculture, and various bioinformatics software programs/database important for biotechnologists and pathologists as well as breeders.

Only one health, and so many omics

The title of this editorial is paraphrasing the famous saying of Victor Schlichter from Buenos Aires children hospital in Argentina who said “How unfair! Only one health, and so many diseases”, but the importance of future holistic approach in integrating the knowledge omics has rewarded us.

Predictive tools for the study of variations in ADP platelet responses: implications for personalised CVD risk and prevention strategies

Predicting ADP responses levels might be suitable for determining which allelic features will contribute most to the extreme ADP platelet responses responses, and may be useful for suggesting new drug targets or individualised treatments in the targeted CVD therapeutics or personalised medical settings for the next generation of medical practice.

Genomic association with pathogen carriage in bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis)

This study is one of the first to assess the genomic factors influencing chronic carriage of a pathogen in a wild population and lays a foundation for understanding genomic influence on pathogen persistence in bighorn sheep and other wildlife populations.
