Proteomics in Domestic Animals on a Farm to Systems Biology Perspective: Final Remarks and Future Prospects

Abstract

In this book, we have explored the fascinating world of proteomics and the developments in the field that may enhance research, specifically in the area of animal science and production, as well as veterinary medicine. Furthermore, we have shown how proteomic studies may successfully be integrated with other omics, namely, transcriptomics and metabolomics. At this stage, we hope that the reader who has never used proteomics and associated methods may now consider using it in future research projects in order to answer the many challenges that animal production has to address in the years to come. As for the reader that already has a history of farm animal proteomic research, we hope that this book may serve as an inspiration for additional or alternative uses of the technologies available and perhaps stimulate future collaborations.
