Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Next-generation sequencing technologies have opened up new opportunities to study both the livestock and microbial communities that they host. This topic brings together new research and tools developed to make sense of huge volumes of sequencing data that are now being generated.
We welcome contributions from a range of topics, including the following:
- Sequencing methods and bioinformatics tools for animal and microbial omics;
- Integrated approaches combining host genomics and microbiome profiling;
- Pipelines for analyzing genomics, metagenomic, and transcriptomic data;
- Applications of omics to improve animal health, traceability, and sustainability.
