The nomenclature for white spotting in horses varies from region to region, influenced by the language and patterns in local horse breeds. Overo ("bird's egg pattern") is the term used in South America for a pattern that is often called sabino in North America. In the British Isles, terms are less...
This chapter describes the interactions between the horse and its digestive tract microbes and the role of mitochondrial genetics on evolution, inheritance and racing performance.
This chapter describes the genes and inheritance for the black, bay and chestnut coat colours in certain horse breeds.
This chapter describes the molecular genetics of the Cream, Dun, Silver and Champagne genes responsible for coat colour dilution in certain horse breeds.
This chapter describes the phenotypic and genetic characteristics of horse breeds with the leopard complex spotting coat colour and pattern.
We have a much richer vocabulary to discuss genetics than was available to Gregor Mendel. But genes remain abstract concepts discussed using words such as dominant, recessive, reading frame, double helix and Punnett square. Nevertheless, these concepts are useful to make us more successful horse...
This chapter discusses the breed registries, genetic diversity, genetic drift, selection and relationships within and between horse breeds.
The expression, mutation and heritability of the genes that result in the black, bay and chestnut coat colours of horses are described.
The molecular genetic characteristics, heritability and association with cataract and squamous cell carcinoma of the genes responsible for coat colour dilution in horse breeds are described.
KIT mutations play a key role in producing white spotting patterns in horses. However, not all white spotting patterns in horses are products of the KIT locus. The next few chapters describe the genetics of the traits gray, overo, splashed white and leopard, all of which are encoded by genes...
