Analysis of the equine genome began just over a decade ago,culminating in the recent complete sequencing of the horsegenome. The availability of the equine whole genome sequencerepresents the successful completion of an important era of equinegenome analysis, and the beginning of a new era where thesequence information will catalyze the development of new tools andresources that will permit study of a range of traits that areeconomically important and are significant to equine health andwelfare.Equine Genomics provides a timely comprehensive overview ofequine genomic research. Chapters detail key accomplishments andthe current state of research, as well as looking forward topossible applications of genomic technologies to horse breeding,health, and welfare. Equine Genomics delivers a globaloverview of the topic and is seamlessly edited by a leading equinegenomics researcher.
Equine Genomics is an indispensible source ofinformation for anyone with an interest in this increasinglyimportant field of study, including equine genomic researchers,clinicians, animal science professionals and equine fieldveterinarians.

"Equine Genomicsis an excellent text that compileshistorical accomplishments in equine genetics and molecularbiology, describes state-of-theart approaches to understanding theequine genome, and provides glimpses of where the field may go inthe future . . . It is our responsibility to try to keep up, and Ibelieve this book will help us do that." (Journal ofthe American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 June 2014)
