 This book is divided into 5 sections which cover organization, expression and evolution of the mammalian genome; genome analysis and bioinformatics and the contributions of research in mammalian genomics. It has 21 chapters on linkage mapping, genome mapping at the chromosome level and molecular levels, DNA sequence of human and other mammalian genomes, transcriptomes, proteomes, epigenetic regulation of gene expression, regulation of genome activity and genetic networks, inducing alterations in mammalian genomes for investigations on gene function, comparative analysis of mammalian genomes, elements and mechanisms of genome change, DNA sequence evolution and phylogenetics, evolution of the mammalian karyotype, comparative gene mapping, chromosome painting and reconstruction of the mammalian karyotype, bioinformatics, genetic databases, gene predictions and annotations, genomic research in understanding inherited disorders in humans and other mammals, pharmacogenomics, genome scanning for quantitative trait loci and mammalian population genetics and genomics. These include a comparative genome analysis of farm, companion and laboratory animals. An index is also located at the end of the book. This book will be of significant interest to those working in the areas of human and animal genetics and animal breeding.
