This multiauthor book comprises comprehensive reviews on all aspects of dog genetics. The first 5 of its 19 chapters deal with systematics, phylogeny, domestication and single-gene traits. The next 7 chapters cover biochemical polymorphism, molecular genetics, immunogenetics, the genetics of disease...
