Multi-Omics Technology in Human Health and Diseases: Genomics, Epigenomics, Transcriptomics, Proteomics, Metabolomics, Radiomics, Multi-omic provides a way forward in understanding complete disease etiology and prognosis. This unique book gives a comprehensive understanding of multi-omics technology and its applications in understanding complex human health and disease, and not only introduces the technology, but also its use for biomarker identification, drug discovery, and disease prognostication. This is the first resource on currently utilized multiomics technology for big data interpretation, and is thus perfect for researchers, academia, students, and an industrial audience. As a comprehensive understanding of human health and diseases, particularly cancer, requires knowledge of molecular biomarkers at a multi-omics level, including genome, epigenome, transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome, which is meagerly available or highly lacking among the students and scientific researchers, this book checks all the right boxes.

Agriculture Toward Net Zero Emissions explores how agriculture has historically contributed to carbon emissions and then takes the reader forward, offering insights into an integrated approach to reducing those emissions toward the COP26 goal. The dual challenge of increasing production to meet population and nutrition food demands while reducing the traditional emissions generated by production practices is significant. It requires understanding the foundation of current practices and then revising those underlying principles to reflect the resources and greater insights of today. Advancing agroecosystem science through a roadmap for improving capacity, this book is valuable for those seeking to develop and apply new agricultural best practices.Presented in three parts, this book provides an overview of the current state of the science, explores the development of policies and plans to improve carbon management, and provides examples of technology and agroecosystem management practices. It includes the latest updates in carbon neutral farming, carbon and energy management, and addresses the knowledge gap between input management, livestock management and agroecosystem management.

Metabolites as Signals in Immunity and Inflammation describes the revolution in the definition of the word metabolism, highlighting changes in thinking about the whole field of immunology. These changes occur thanks to breakthrough experiments in basic research, and with the help of new technologies that allow for the testing of immunology hypotheses. In recent years, a substantial number of findings have been made around immunometabolism. What is emerging is a complex interplay between metabolic reprogramming and immunity, which is providing an extra dimension to our understanding of the immune system in health and disease.
