► Description: |
Genomics has revolutionized biological
research over the course of the last two
decades. Genome maps of key agricultural
species have offered increased
understanding of the structure,
organization, and evolution of animal
genomes. Building upon this foundation,
researchers are now emphasizing research
on genome function. Published with the
World
Aquaculture Society, Functional
Genomics in Aquaculture looks at the
advances in this field as they directly
relate to key traits and species in
aquaculture production.
Functional Genomics in Aquaculture opens
with two chapters that provide a useful
general introduction to the field of
functional genomics. The second section of
the book focuses on key production traits
such as growth, development, reproduction,
nutrition, and physiological response to
stress and diseases. The final five
chapters focus on a variety of key
aquaculture species. Examples looking at
our understanding of the functional
genomes of salmonids, Mediterranean sea
bass, Atlantic cod, catfish, shrimp, and
molluscs, are included in the book.
Providing valuable insights and
discoveries into the functional genomes of
finfish and shellfish species, Functional
Genomics in Aquaculture, will be an
invaluable resource to researchers and
professionals in aquaculture, genetics,
and animal science.
