Special Issue on Animal Breeding and Genetics
"Animal
Breeding and Genetics" is an academic research topic that focuses on the
genetic improvement of domesticated animals for agricultural or commercial
purposes. It involves the study of animal breeding techniques such as selective
breeding, crossbreeding, and genetic engineering in order to develop desirable
traits in domesticated animals. These traits may include improved meat quality,
reproductive ability, disease resistance, or efficiency in food production. In
order to achieve these goals, animal breeders and geneticists use a variety of
molecular and statistical tools to analyze genetic data and develop breeding
strategies that optimize desired traits in animal populations. Ultimately, the
goal of animal breeding and genetics is to produce healthier, more productive
and profitable animals for human use.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line
researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on Animal Breeding and Genetics. Potential topics include, but are not limited
to:
-
Genetics of animal health and disease
-
Statistical modeling and methods
-
Molecular genetics and bioinformatics
-
Quantitative genetics with applications
-
Gene expression and regulation
-
Genomic selection
-
Optimized breeding strategies
-
Genetically modified organisms
-
Genomic prediction in animals
-
