Description

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 application to the improvement of equine traits of economic significance. This ebook provides broad-ranging coverage of advances in genome science as applied to horses. 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. Are also presented the underlying genetics of key traits, such as reproduction, coat color, performance, and a variety of key diseases impacting horses. 321 p.

It’s been a long time since there was such a nice genomics publication available for equine enthusiasts and researchers. Well set out and easy to navigate with great detail in it’s content.

This is an excellent review of various equine studies that have been completed over the past years. It is written for persons with an understanding of microbiology and genetics but a horse breeder with a basic understanding can find the information helpful. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the “science” behind genetics and genomics.

Equine Genomicsis an excellent text that compiles historical accomplishments in equine genetics and molecular biology, describes state-of-theart approaches to understanding the equine genome, and provides glimpses of where the field may go in the future . . . It is our responsibility to try to keep up, and I believe this book will help us do that.
