Beschreibung
Equine genetics has long been studied as a means of improving traits such as performance capabilities and coat color in horses. Dramatic advances in genomics and high-throughput DNA analysis technologies have significantly increased our understanding of the molecular biology of growth, development, and disease. Equine Genomics focuses on the significant advances in genome-mapping and genomic technologies and their applications to the improvement of equine traits of economic significance.
Equine Genomics provies broad-ranging coverage of advances in genome science as applied to horses. The opening chapters provide Strong foundational information on defining the equine genome, the development of genetic linkage, physical and comparative maps, as well as whole genome sequences. The following several chapters then look at the underlying genetics of key traits, such as reproduction, coat color, performance, and a variety of key diseases impacting horses. The final chapter looks at equine mitochondrial DNA and its implication on equid evolution and genetic diversity.
A timely and vitally important resource, Equine Genomics, is an essential title of animal scientists, genomic researchers, veterinary scientists, equine breeders, and industry personnel.
Analysis of the equine genome began just over a decade ago, culminating in the recent complete sequencing of the horse genome. The availability of the equine whole genome sequence represents the successful completion of an important era of equine genome analysis, and the beginning of a new era where the sequence information will catalyze the development of new tools and resources that will permit study of a range of traits that are economically important and are significant to equine health and welfare. Equine Genomics provides a timely comprehensive overview of equine genomic research. Chapters detail key accomplishments and the current state of research, as well as looking forward to possible applications of genomic technologies to horse breeding, health, and welfare. Equine Genomics delivers a global overview of the topic and is seamlessly edited by a leading equine genomics researcher.
Equine Genomics is an indispensible source of information for anyone with an interest in this increasingly important field of study, including equine genomic researchers, clinicians, animal science professionals and equine field veterinarians.
