Description
Description
Advances in Animal Genomics, 2nd Edition offers a comprehensive exploration of the latest developments in animal genomics and biotechnology. This updated edition integrates traditional and cutting-edge omics approaches—including genomics, transcriptomics, epigenomics, and genome editing technologies—to advance sustainable livestock production and genetic improvement. Covering a wide range of topics from reproductive technologies, cloning, and stem cell applications to CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing, molecular markers, and nanobiotechnology, this volume delves into the molecular mechanisms underlying key traits such as yield, disease resistance, and stress tolerance. It also addresses emerging areas like microbial metagenomics, bioinformatics, gene therapy, and policy frameworks, providing readers with a holistic understanding of the scientific tools and ethical considerations shaping the future of animal biotechnology. Designed for scientists, researchers, students, educators, and professionals across agriculture, veterinary science, and biotechnology, Advances in Animal Genomics, 2nd Edition serves as an essential resource for those seeking to harness genomics for improving animal health, productivity, and sustainability. For those engaged in academic research, applied breeding programs, or policy development, this book offers the knowledge and insights needed to meet the global challenges of food security and environmental stewardship through innovative genomic solutions.
