Genetics and Genomics of the Rabbit
Rabbits have many uses -- as well as being cherished pets, they are bred for their meat and fur and as laboratory animals. Beginning with an introduction to the rabbit, including key information on their evolution, domestication and breed types, this book then concentrates on the genetics and genomics of this valuable animal.This book covers:Cytogenetics, genetic maps and QTL mapping;Immunogenetics;Genetics of coat color, meat, fiber and fur production, reproduction, disease resistance and more.Concluding with practical applications such as creating transgenic and genome-edited rabbits, biotechnical applications and the rabbit as a biomedical model, this book brings this important topic fully up-to-date. Understanding their genetics and genomics is key to their production and, equally, to their care, welfare and health.
It provides an indispensable resource
