Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “The 15th Anniversary of Genes: Feature Papers in the Animal Genetics and Genomics Section”, aims to bring together high-quality review articles or research articles on all aspects of the most recent advances in interdisciplinary animal genetics fields and to share knowledge between scientists and professionals. It is dedicated to recent advances in the research area of genomics and genetic and comprises a selection of exclusive papers from the Editorial Board Members (EBMs) of the “Animal Genetics and Genomics” Section, as well as invited papers from relevant experts. We also welcome senior experts in the field to make contributions to this Special Issue. We aim to present our Special Issue as an attractive open access publishing platform for genomics and genetic research.
