Potential applications of pathogen genomics = Utilisation potentielles de la génomique des agents pathogènes = La genómica de patógenos y sus posibles aplicaciones

The first issue of Volume 35 of the Scientific and Technical Review provides a collection of in-depth articles on potential applications of pathogen genomics. The increasing power of high-throughput sequencing, bioinformatics and computational biology have revolutionised most aspects of biomedical and veterinary sciences. Such new technologies and tools have also had a big impact on the diagnosis, control and management of animal diseases.
