Omics Approaches and Technologies in COVID-19

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 their perspectives on how recent technologies can help on diagnosis, treatment, control, and elucidation of such impactful situation. 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 prediction of patients’ health condition and treatment outcomes. It is a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers and members of 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
