Reproductive Genomics in Domestic Animals

Domestic animal genomics is of interest to a wide audience of researchers because of the utility derived from understanding how genomics and proteomics function in various organisms. This book depicts the knowledge about genetic factors affecting reproduction in livestock and available methods for studying the genetic influence on reproductive traits. The book aims to cover basic, applied, and methodological research towards a better understanding of the genetic mechanisms underlying the expression of complex phenotypes in farm animals, as well as innovative strategies for the genetic improvement of livestock species.
