About

Since the first draft of a mammalian genome, we have seen large numbers of high throughput studies including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, epigenomics, and metabolomics with the aim of better understanding the various biological molecules; DNA, RNA, proteins, and metabolites. These studies, collectively called “omics”, revolutionized genetic research in the last two decades, with a huge potential in livestock. There are several opportunities for livestock omics to amplify our knowledge of genetic variation in the main economical traits of the main production species.The big data produced by livestock “omics” projects has been made publicly available to researchers trying to implement and improve animal production through means besides environmental sustainability. Additionally, the “omics” approach can be holistically applied to improve animal breeding approaches and provide a better understanding of the genetic architecture of the species.In this second volume, we aim to build on the knowledge acquired in the first one, welcoming the latest findings on livestock genetics based on omics approaches. Studies focusing on all production animals involving genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic, epigenomic, metabolomic, etc. are invited. These can provide significant hints to understanding farm animal genetics besides presenting new phenotypes to be included in animal breeding programs worldwide.
