Interpretive Summary: This editorial showcases research applying genomic and epigenomic tools in animal and veterinary sciences. Hence, nine original papers and two review articles explored diverse array of applications of genomics to animal health reproduction, production, and response to stress and pathogens in cattle, yak, chinese forest musk deer, pig, rat , chicken, and carp.

Technical Abstract: The impact of genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and other “omic” branches on animal selection, breeding, nutrition, and health is evident. Among the plethora of genomic and epigenomic papers published each year, the proportion of publications involving non-model, domestic, or wild animals is still low. In contrast, the availability of annotated genomes for most domestic and economically relevant species have revolutionized all biological and health disciplines. The current editorial examines the status of this research topic in various animals.
