			        		&quot;...would serve as an excellent textbook for third or fourth year undergraduate students or for beginning graduate students in any of the animal or biological sciences lacking a background in genetics. It should serve well either as a textbook or as a valuable resource book....&quot; Gerald B. Havenstein, Poultry Science&quot;...a splendid little book that is the first devoted to the domestic fowl for many years....I really enjoyed this book, and will refer to it frequently. My interest in birds has not extended to their immunology or oncogenetics, and it fills that gap to perfection. I will also use the chapter on quantitative genetics in my teaching, so it will not gather dust on the shelf as so many other books do.&quot; David T. Parkin, TIG

			        		A concise and up-to-date account of all major areas of poultry genetics from Mendelian to the molecular level. In each chapter a brief explanation of the genetic principles is followed by a full discussion illustrated by key examples.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very serious textbook for the avian geneticist...
*by L***Y on May 18, 2005*

This book is not for sissies. It's a serious textbook for those who are studying avian genetics. It is not for the faint of heart, or those without a background in basic genetic terms and science. All that being said, it's an invaluable book if you're seeking to understand how chicken genetics work, and apply them to your breeding processes.Chapters in this book include: 1. The history and evolution of the domestic fowl 2. The cellular organisation of genetic material 3. The transmission of inherited characters 4. Sex determination and sex-linked inheritance in the domestic fowl 5. Linkage and chromosome mapping 6. Genes controlling feathering and plumage color 7. Muscle, nerve, and skeleton 8. Lethal genes in domestic fowl 9. Quantitative genetics 10. Protein evolution and polymorphism 11. Immunogenetics of the domestic fowl 12. Gene cloning, sequencing and transfer in the domestic fowlThere are also five appendices, a glossary, and an index. The appendices include: I. Linage groups and the chromosome map in the domestic fowl II. Oncogenes III. The Chi squared test IV. One letter amino acid code V. The genetic codeAll in all this book is more then the average fancier would want to spend, but if you are a scientist or high-end hobbyist desiring to expand your knowledge of poultry genetics, then go for it!
