GENOMICS: AN EFFECTIVE TOOL FOR AN INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT OF EQUINE BREEDING, TRAINING AND HEALTH
2012
Schibler, Laurent
Genomics is a scientific discipline concerned with the study of genome structure, function and evolutionary changes. The field relies on systematic approaches to study the genome architecture and DNA sequence (structural genomics) as well as the regulation of genome expression (functional genomics). Resulting knowledge and technological tools may find numerous applications in the equine industry, such as genetic disease screening, identification of animals susceptible to various diseases, training management as well as genetic improvement and breeding. Equine veterinarians have a major role to play in the design and implementation of such work, which in turn should also provide new opportunities. Indeed, veterinarians may benefit from this genomic information to develop genetic counselling, to suggest relevant changes in breeding practices or to design novel treatment strategies.
