دانلود کتاب The genetics of the horse

In its 18 chapters, this multiauthor book covers all major aspects of the genetics of horses from systematics and phylogeny to molecular genetics, and comprehensively surveys the literature of the past few decades. It is addressed to a wide readership from research workers to those concerned with more practical aspects of the breeding and keeping of horses. The book has both a glossary of terms and a subject index. Content: 1. Systematics and Phylogeny of the Horse / C.P. Groves and O.A. Ryder -- 2.

Standardized Genetic Nomenclature of the Horse / C.H.S. Dolling. Abstract: The theory and application of mammalian genetics has evolved rapidly in the 1980s and 1990s, giving scientists insight into the biological processes which affect the functions of the animal in question. This title is a comprehensive review of research in horse genetics. Read more...
