"An understanding of Elements of Veterinary Genetics is crucial to the evaluation and control of diseases and disorders in animals. This book not only contains sections on basic genetics, cytogenetics, immunogenetics, population genetics and quantitative genetics, but also quantitative genetics, but also covers, in greater depth, molecular biology, biotechnology, gene mapping and the use of molecular tools to research inherited disorders.

Elements of Veterinary Genetics-- is the only introductory genetics book for students of veterinary and animal science and will continue to be an indispensable reference tool for veterinary students and practitioners alike." (jacket)
