Reviews

Equine Genomicsis an excellent text that compiles historical accomplishments in equine genetics and molecular biology, describes state-of-theart approaches to understanding the equine genome, and provides glimpses of where the field may go in the future ... It is our responsibility to try to keep up, and I believe this book will help us do that. ( Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association , 15 June 2014)
