The Genetics of the DogElaine A. Ostrander, Anatoly Ruvinsky Recognizing the significant advancements 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 comprehensive updates of the material. Fundamental chapters have been fully updated by new authors on essential topics like immunogenetics, genetics of diseases, developmental genetics and the genetics of behavior. New subjects have also been added to provide a fresh outlook and report on the latest areas of interest such as dog breeds and genetic diversity, canine genomics, olfactory genetics and cancer genetics. |
