About the Book

Equine Genomics 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. Equine Genomics provides 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 for animal scientists, genomic researchers, veterinary scientists, equine breeders, and industry personnel.

Review :
“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.”  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 June 2014)
