Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in omics and multi-omics technologies over the past decade have greatly enhanced research capabilities into biomedical applications, including reproductive processes. The use of a high-level multidimensional approach for systems biology and associated bioinformatics enables a holistic screen of several mechanisms and integrates genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, cellomics, and other -omics for a more comprehensive understanding of biological systems. The interrelationships of the male and female system in addition to the interactions of the gametes for fertilization to then form a new being is indeed a complex and unique biological system with considerable variations across organisms. This Special Issue explores applications and take-up of systems biology approaches into animal reproduction, with special emphasis on the gamete interactions that enable fertilization and advanced methodologies to enhance assisted reproductive technologies.
