Author Description

Omics Approaches and Technologies in COVID-19 discusses current and in development technologies used to fight the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Based on the research developed since the virus' outbreak, experts from around the world present perspectives on how recent technologies can help diagnose, treat and control. The book discusses topics such as genomics, meta-genomics, nutrigenomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, epigenomics, multi-omics and pan-genomics approaches, CRISPR, host-pathogen interactions, systems biology, artificial intelligence and machine learning applied to COVID-19, bioinformatics, mathematical modeling, and big data. In addition, it presents smart technologies to control SARS-CoV-2 transmission and technologies for the prediction of patients’ health conditions and treatment outcomes. This is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and members of the biomedical field who are interested in learning more about novel approaches and technologies used to tackle the COVID-19 pandemic. Presents an overview of various omics-based strategies used in identifying the origin of SARS-CoV-2 Discusses omics approaches used in developing novel rapid diagnostics for COVID-19 Brings information on how omics technologies have minimized the time taken to develop potential drugs and vaccines Explains how applications of digital and smart technologies can be used to control the pandemic
