Equine Genomics

Equine Genomics

A comprehensive reference on genomic science and its application to horses. It explores the equine genome, genome mapping and sequencing, molecular genetics, and the genetic basis of important traits and diseases, with applications to breeding, performance, reproduction, coat color, and equine health.

Key Features:

• Equine genetics and genomics
• Equine genome structure and mapping
• Genetic linkage and physical maps
• Comparative genomics and whole-genome sequencing
• Molecular basis of growth and development
• Genetics of reproduction
• Coat color genetics
• Genetics of equine performance
• Genetic basis of important diseases
• Mitochondrial DNA and equid evolution
• Applications in breeding and genetic improvement
