Introduction Welcome to the third installment of our Omics blog series at Arta, where we continue to explore the role of Omics technologies in cultured meat production. In our previous posts, we delved into the "why" and "where" of Omics in this industry, highlighting its potential to address complex challenges and bridge significant knowledge gaps. Now, we turn our attention to the "how" – providing a comprehensive guide on implementing Omics tools effectively in cultured meat research and development. The journey of using Omics in cultured meat is complex and has many individual steps! It begins with the essential task of identifying key research questions, a step that sets the direction for the entire project. This foundational stage, as we've seen in our first blog, is critical for ensuring that your research is aligned with the unique challenges and opportunities in the cultured meat industry. From improving meat texture and nutritional content to reducing production costs, each goal demands a tailored Omics approach. Following this, the planning phase, as discussed in our second blog, involves selecting suitable Omics techniques, determining sample sizes, and setting clear objectives. This careful planning is crucial for the successful execution of Omics experiments, ensuring that they are not only scientifically robust but also practically relevant to the cultured meat question at hand. In this post, we will walk you through each critical step of the Omics workflow (Figure 1), from the execution of experiments and precise sample preparation to the complex processes of data analysis and visualisation. Our focus is on providing practical, step-by-step guidance that encapsulates the depth and breadth of Omics applications in cultured meat production.
