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 phenotypic and genetic characteristics of horse breeds with the leopard complex spotting coat colour and pattern.
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 molecular genetics of the Cream, Dun, Silver and Champagne genes responsible for coat colour dilution in certain horse breeds.
This chapter describes the genes and inheritance for the black, bay and chestnut coat colours in certain horse breeds.
This chapter discusses the breed registries, genetic diversity, genetic drift, selection and relationships within and between horse breeds.
The heritability, breeding value, genetic markers and selection of performance traits in racehorses and draught horses are described.
This chapter describes some of the investigations that have been made into genetic influences on diseases in horses. Topics include simple Mendelian hereditary diseases and DNA testing, Mendelian disease genes not yet characterized at the DNA level, complex hereditary diseases and quantitative...
The expression, molecular genetics, heritability and association with significantly decreased night vision of the gene responsible for the leopard spotting pattern in Appaloosa horses and other breeds are described.
This chapter discusses the genetic bases for the frame overo and splashed white coat patterns and the increased sensitivity to the sun, digestive disorders and neurlogical defects associated with these patterns in horses.
