Equine Color Genetics
Equine Color Genetics by D. Phillip Sponenberg, published by John Wiley & Sons on August 7, 2017, is a comprehensive resource that delves into the color variation in horses and donkeys, along with the genetic mechanisms responsible for these variations. This fourth edition spans 352 pages and is presented in English, offering an updated exploration of the basic colors such as bay, chestnut, black, and brown, as well as the genetic foundations that lead to dilutions and white patterning.
Readers will find a thorough examination of the genetic basis of coat colors, enhanced by new insights into molecular genetics and biochemistry. The book includes a detailed discussion on genetic loci and the evolution of coat colors prior to domestication. Additionally, a new introduction outlines the principles of genetics and genomics research, aiding readers in grasping the concepts presented throughout the text. This edition serves as a valuable reference for those interested in veterinary medicine and equine studies.
