Muir (animal sciences, Purdue University) and Aggrey (poultry science, University of Georgia) collect the latest research on issues associated with poultry breeding, especially in quantitative and molecular genetics and the uses of transgenic technology. Problems in poultry breeding are first defined, then methods to address these issues are examined, in sections on breeding strategies and objectives and the use of genomics and bioinformatics in poultry. A special section is devoted to the genetics of disease resistance and transmission. Readership includes those working in poultry science, animal breeding, genetics, and biotechnology. The book is distributed by Oxford University Press.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
