Advances in animal genomics /
Mondal, Sukanta,editor.
Singh, Ram Lakhan,editor.
"[C]ollection of integrated strategies involving traditional and modern -omics (structural, functional, comparative, and epigenomics) approaches and genomics-assisted breeding methods, which animal biotechnologists can utilize to dissect and decode the molecular and gene regulatory networks involved in the complex quantitative yield and stress tolerance traits in livestock. Written by international experts on animal genomics, this book explores the recent advances in high-throughput next-generation whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, array-based genotyping, and modern bioinformatics approaches which have enabled production of huge genomic and transcriptomic resources globally on a genome-wide scale. This book enables researchers, students, educators, and professionals in agriculture, veterinary, and biotechnology sciences to solve problems regarding sustainable development with the help of current innovative biotechnologies such as recombinant DNA technology and genetic engineering which have tremendous potential for impacting global food security, environmental health, human and animal health, and overall livelihood of mankind"--Page 4 of cover
