Reproductive Genomics In Domestic Animals (Hb 2010) Hardcover

Reproductive Genomics in Domestic Animals (Hardcover, 2010), edited by Zhihua Jiang and Troy L. Ott, offers an in-depth exploration of the intersection between genomics and reproductive biology in livestock. This comprehensive volume is structured into three parts: the first focuses on genome resources, including tools, reagents, databases, and quantitative genomics approaches: the second delves into transcriptomes and physiological genomics: and the third examines the genomics of reproductive biotechnology and its applications. The book covers a wide array of topics, such as quantitative genomics of female and male reproduction, genetics and genomics of reproductive disorders, mitochondrial genomics, physiological genomics of reproduction, and the role of the epigenome in somatic cell nuclear transfer. It also addresses the evolutionary genomics of sex determination, toxicogenomics of reproductive endocrine disruption, and the application of nutrigenomics for improved reproduction. By integrating these diverse aspects, the book provides valuable insights into how genomic tools can enhance reproductive efficiency in domestic animals, making it an essential resource for researchers, students, and professionals in animal science and reproductive biology
