The Genetics of the Dog

The understanding of pig genetics and genomics has advanced significantly in recent years, creating fresh insights into biological processes. This comprehensive reference work discusses pig genetics and its integration with livestock management and production technology to improve performance. Fully updated throughout to reflect advances in the subject, this new edition also includes new information on genetic aspects of domestication, colour variation, genomics and pig breeds, with contributions from international experts active in the field.

  • "This second edition book presents a comprehensive description of all modern topics related to dog genetics from various scientists in the USA, Europe, Australia and Russia. The systematics, phylogeny, domestication and single gene traits are discussed in chapters 1-5, chapters 6-10 are on immunogenetics and genetic diseases, while chapters 11 and 12 presents gene mapping and genome structure of the dog. The genetic aspects of behaviour, reproduction and development are highlighted in chapters 13 to 15, followed by morphological traits and olfactory genetics in chapters 16 and 17, and chapters 18 to 20 discusses genotype testing, pedigree analysis, quantitative genetics and complex traits. Chapters 21 to 23 emphasizes the application of dog genetics in medical research, genetic aspects of performance in working dogs and genomic nomenclature. The book is intended towards researchers, lecturers, students, dog breeders, veterinarians and kennel clubs."
  • "Recognizing the significant advances made in the field of animal genetics in the ten years since the first edition of Genetics of the Dog, this new edition of the successful 2001 book provides a comprehensive update on the subject, along with new material on topics of current and growing interest. Existing chapters on essential topics such as immunogenetics, genetics of diseases, developmental genetics and the genetics of behaviour have been fully updated, while new authors report on the latest advances in areas such as genetic diversity of dog breeds, canine genomics, olfactory genetics and cancer genetics."
  • "The second edition of this book contains chapters that discuss modern pig genetics, including taxonomy and evolution, domestication, coat colour variation, morphological traits and hereditary diseases, immunogenetics, cytogenetics, genomics, behaviour genetics, reproduction, transgenics, developmental genetics, pig genetic resources, performance traits, carcass and meat quality genetics, genetic improvement, pigs as models for biomedical sciences, pig breeds and genetic nomenclature. This book is intended for those who study or work with pigs."

  • "This multiauthor book comprises comprehensive reviews on all aspects of dog genetics. The first 5 of its 19 chapters deal with systematics, phylogeny, domestication and single-gene traits. The next 7 chapters cover biochemical polymorphism, molecular genetics, immunogenetics, the genetics of disease, genome structure and gene mapping. There follow chapters on the genetics of behaviour, reproduction and development, and the final chapters are devoted to genotype testing, pedigree analysis, quantitative genetics, and the application of dog genetics in the medical and forensic fields. The book is intended for a wide readership, including research workers, lecturers, students, dog breeders and veterinarians. There are appendices on standardized genetic nomenclature for the dog, kennel clubs of the world, international organizations dealing with dogs, and databases on dog breeds and DNA. There is a subject index. The individual chapters of the book have been abstracted separately."@en
