The COVID-19 pandemic has had a profound impact on the world since its onset in 2019. However, the application of novel and innovative omics, computational, and smart technologies has played a crucial role in effectively managing this global crisis of the 21st century. Omics approaches and technologies in COVID-19 provide a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of omics, genetic engineering, mathematical and computational methodologies, and advanced technologies used in diagnosing, preventing, monitoring, and managing COVID-19. This book consists of 26 chapters authored by academic and industry experts from over 15 countries. It is organized into three sections: Omics, Artificial Intelligence and Bioinformatics, and Smart and Emerging Technologies. These sections offer a comprehensive exploration of novel technologies under omics, including genomic, metagenomic, pangenomic, metabolomics, and proteomics in the context of COVID-19. Additionally, the book delves into host-pathogen interactions and interactomics, management strategies, applications of genetic engineering, mathematical modeling and simulations, systems biology, and bioinformatics approaches in COVID-19 drug discovery and vaccine development. This resource is invaluable for students, biotechnologists, bioinformaticians, virologists, clinicians, and individuals working in the pharmaceutical, biomedical, and healthcare industries who seek to gain a deeper understanding of the promising omics and other technologies employed in combating COVID-19 from various perspectives.
