This book presents a compendium of advanced research and basic principles/approaches related to vetinformatics. All chapters have explored the role of basic methods of vetinformatics that may be very helpful for students and researchers studying/working in the area of veterinary and animal science and may also serve the purpose of textbook. The latest developments in the field are discussed, and basic concepts are introduced in a simple but comprehensive way to ensure that students/researchers are able to understand the more advanced study in the proposed field. It also provides a comprehensive list of resources used for RNAseq data analysis, metagenomics, GWAS, systems biology and multiomics integration, molecular docking, toxicity prediction, QSAR, molecular dynamics simulation, vaccine designing, and machine learning. This book serves as an invaluable resource for researchers, faculty, and students of veterinary and animal sciences for understanding modern approaches and the application of vetinformatics involved in livestock research. This also focuses to guide map and carry out studies and research in the field of vetinformatics.
