GENETICS AND GENOMICS OF ANIMALS

Discover the fascinating world of animal genetics with the latest academic textbook! This comprehensive book presents a wide range of knowledge in the field of genetics, from classical principles to the latest molecular advances. It is ideal for students and professionals who want to deepen their knowledge of inheritance and gene function in animals.

• Wide range of knowledge: Classical and molecular genetics, cyto- and immunogenetics, population genetics and the genetics of quantitative traits.
• Up-to-date information: Updated with the latest discoveries on the genome and epigenetics.
• Practical examples: Discussion of problems using domestic animals as examples (cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats, chickens, bees).
• Rich illustrations: Original diagrams, micrographs and photographs.
• For students and professionals: Ideal textbook for zootechnics, biotechnology, biology and veterinary medicine courses.
• Latest achievements: Presentation of the latest achievements in animal genetics.

The textbook "Genetics and Genomics of Animals" is an indispensable source of knowledge for anyone interested in animal genetics. The book discusses the organization and function of the genome, epigenetic mechanisms that regulate gene expression, and the techniques used in molecular genetics and genomics. Thanks to numerous examples and illustrations, even complex issues become easy to understand.

This book also offers an in-depth look at the genetic control of ontogenetic development, including sex determination and differentiation. The authors discuss in detail the molecular basis of hereditary diseases and congenital malformations, presenting polymorphisms of genes with a significant impact on the variability of quantitative (production) and qualitative traits (e.g. coat colors). In addition, the textbook explains how knowledge of DNA polymorphism is used in genetic analyzes and the importance of domestic animals as biomedical models of human hereditary diseases, including gene therapy of these diseases.

Wydawnictwo Naukowe PWN, known for its high-quality scientific publications, guarantees the reliability and timeliness of the information presented. The authors, Krystyna M. Charon and Marek Świtoński, are respected experts in the field of genetics, which makes this textbook an indispensable source of knowledge for students and professionals.
