Abstract

Due to increasing knowledge about the function of genes and proteins in various living organisms, the genomics of farm animals is a major concern for researchers. Different applications like increased milk, meat, and wool production are the main drivers of the increase in farm animal genome activities. Data about the gene sequences of different organisms, like fish, cows etc., can be obtained from warehouses that are expanding quickly. However, this is protected and owned by many data processing and storage authorities. In this chapter, we will discuss genome project measures and animal bioinformatics that increase scientists' interest in advancing developments in the field.

Keywords: Bioinformatics, Genome, Livestock, Omics, Proteins.
