Themed collection Omics in Animal Sciences

The availability of omics datasets coupled to high-throughput and bioinformatics analyses enabled rational and faster identification of new generation vaccine candidates.

We present in this review the most recent achievement in the application of transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics to canine cancer research. The protocols to recover material suitable for omics analyses from formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues are highlighted, together with the potential of omics in veterinary cancer diagnostics.

Pathogens pose a major threat to human and animal welfare. Understanding the interspecies host–pathogen protein–protein interactions could lead to the development of novel strategies to combat infectious diseases through the rapid development of new therapeutics.

Recent findings and future perspectives of -omics studies on the bovine milk microbiota, focusing on its impact on animal health.

Disease pathways can be explained into a list of biomarkers at different scales to develop applications.

This review will give an overview of immune relevant molecules in fish skin mucus.

Stress and welfare are important factors in animal production in the context of growing production optimization and scrutiny by the general public.

Antibodies have been in the frontline of anticancer research during the last few decades, since a number of different ways have been discovered to utilize them as parts or main components of anticancer drugs.

We performed isoform-specific MUP quantification on MS1 and MS2 level in response to increased social interaction of male wild house mice by seminatural housing.

Metabolomic investigation of milk from cows with bovine mastitis has revealed major changes in carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, nucleotides and bile acids.

Longitudinal proteomic analysis of bovine milk shows consistent changes over time across cows after intramammary challenge with Streptococcus uberis.

Acute phase proteins and a group of 77 peptides in a biomarker panel increase in milk during bovine mastitis caused by a Streptococcus uberis infection of mammary glands.

Adipose tissue and muscle are endocrine organs releasing signalling and mediator proteins termed adipokines and myokines. The identification of the complete set of proteins secreted by adipose tissue and muscle is a challenge to understand the molecular cross-talk between these tissues and to reveal potential targets to control body or muscle composition and metabolism.

Reduced protein diets affects the amounts of proteins related to fibre type and structure and energy.

Goats are of special importance in the Mediterranean and tropical regions for producing a variety of dairy products.

The rate of Flaviviridae family virus infections worldwide has increased dramatically in the last few years.
