The term “Omics” broadly refers to a set of genomics technologies that are utilized in cellular and molecular biology investigate (DNA, RNA), protein epigenetics signatures. Omics study both host pathogens, across many disciplines such as immunology, oncology cell biology. With the high-throughput development new bioinformatics tools, these approaches have significantly contributed our understa...

Immunomodulators like β-glucans have attracted considerable attention as potential alternatives to the prophylactic use of antibiotics. Despite increasing research, little is known about their regulatory influence on immune function in poultry. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of a yeast-derived β-glucan (Auxoferm YGT) on gene expression of T helper cytokines in the intestine....
