About this Research Topic
In the dynamic interface between organism and their environment, stress, aging, and environmental factors play pivotal roles in shaping the phenotype and fitness of both animals and plants. The mechanisms by which living systems respond to these challenges often involve intricate networks of genetic and epigenetic regulation, transcriptional reprogramming, and metabolic shifts. Genomics and transcriptomics, as powerful tools to interrogate the genome and transcriptome, have profoundly transformed our understanding of these adaptive responses.
Given the extensive and multifaceted nature of these adaptive processes, it is imperative to delve deeper into the molecular mechanisms that underpin them. A comprehensive understanding can drive future research and applications in biotechnology, agriculture, medicine, and environmental conservation. This Research topic will bring together cutting-edge research that utilizes genomics and transcriptomics approaches to investigate stress response, aging, and environmental adaptation across a broad range of organisms, encompassing both animal and plant kingdoms.
We aim to showcase the molecular underpinnings of these processes, elucidate novel regulatory mechanisms, and reveal the evolutionary and ecological implications of adaptive responses. The list of potential topics includes, but is not limited to:
• Large-scale genomics and transcriptomics studies revealing novel genes, pathways, and networks involved in stress response and aging.
• Epigenomic and transcriptomic dynamics during environmental adaptation, including responses to abiotic and biotic stresses.
• Comparative genomics and transcriptomics approaches to understanding conserved and divergent mechanisms of stress response and aging across different organisms.
• Integration of genomics and transcriptomics data with other 'omics layers (e.g., proteomics, metabolomics) to decipher the complex interactions underlying adaptive responses.
• Applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in the analysis and interpretation of genomics and transcriptomics data in the context of stress response, aging, and environmental adaptation.
