A Breeder's Guide to Genetics: Relax, It's
Not Rocket Science
by: Wood, Ingrid & Como, Denise
Wood and Como share a treasure trove of fascinating facts gleaned from extensive
research and decades of experience breeding sighthounds and alpacas. The
authors introduce readers to genetic concepts such as dominant and recessive
genes, polygenic inheritance, and genomic imprinting. Various breeding programs
are explored in great detail. Issues such as breeding fads and common myths
are candidly addressed.
Other chapters offer information on DNA testing, hybrid vigor, understanding
pedigrees, and sex chromosomes. An entire section features the basic concepts
of color inheritance. All scientific concepts and terms are clearly explained,
often by using practical examples. The book’s content – including
a carefully selected reference section – provides breeders with the
tools to make more informed breeding decisions. Since man shares considerable
portions of DNA with his fellow creatures, people from all walks of life
will appreciate the wealth of information presented here. The author’s
sense of humor and artist Maryann Conran’s delightful illustrations
emphasize and support the message: learning about genetics can be fun! A
prior knowledge of genetics is not required to enjoy this book. 312 pgs.
