Dogs of different breeds can range remarkably in size, shape, and behavior, and yet they all carry essentially the same genome, making them a particularly fascinating model for genome plasticity. The recent release of the complete sequence of the dog genome provides an exciting new context in which to consider such variation. Twentyfive chapters written by experts in the field include various aspects of morphological and behavioral variation in dogs, their origins and domestication, and their unique value as a model system for many common but complex human diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

The Dog and Its Genome,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Dog and Its Genome (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph) (Paperback)
This book is written solely for geneticists who need to learn something specific with regard to dog genetics. The book sometimes reads as if neither the authors nor the editors speak English as a first language. Given that, it is superbly organized and presented. I like it even though reading 500 pages of science summary from cover to cover can be dull at times.
