Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Genes has a strong history of publishing the latest research in canine genetics. This Special Issue continues that legacy by highlighting the latest findings in canine genomics and disease. Submissions are invited to cover all relevant topics, including descriptions of genetic variation within and among canines, evolution and population genetics, new genomic resources, studies of gene function, and the results of disease and trait mapping studies. New findings and reviews relevant to this field are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Kidd
