Application of post-genomic techniques in dog cancer research
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.

Integrated data mining of transcriptomic and proteomic datasets to predict the secretome of adipose tissue and muscle in ruminants
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.

About this collection
Bringing together researchers taking advantage of the omics approach in the animal sciences and allied subjects this themed collection aims to integrate various omics expertise to help provide the “big picture” necessary to move towards unravelling the complexity of biological phenomena in the animal sciences.
This collection has been guest edited by Professors Mangesh Bhide, Fabrizio Ceciliani and Vladimir Mrljak.
New articles will be added to this collection as they are published.
