The science of genetics has undergone a period of very rapid and
significant development in recent years, and the area of poultry
genetics has been no exception. This book provides a balanced and
up-to-date account of all the major areas of this subject from
Mendelian to modern molecular genetics. The book begins by tracing
the evolution of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) from its
avian ancestors. Subsequent chapters cover important aspects of
poultry genetics, including cytogenetics, transmission genetics,
gene mapping, sex linkage, lethal genes, genetics of feathering and
plumage, and quantitative genetics. In each chapter, a concise
explanation of the genetic principles is followed by a full
discussion illustrated by key examples. In the latter part of the
book, recent advances in gene cloning and sequencing are examined.
In the area of molecular genetics, where the most rapid
developments have been made, more extensive background information
is given and a glossary of terms is included. The impact of these
exciting new developments on our understanding of gene structure
and organization, immunogenetics, and the evolution of proteins is
assessed. Finally, the uses of transgenic techniques and their
implications are discussed. This book provides a clear and useful
survey of the genetics and evolution of the domestic fowl, which
will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers in the
fields of genetics, agriculture, and veterinary medicine, as well
as to poultry breeders, both commercial and non-commercial.
The biology of birds is diverse and frequently differs
significantly from that of other vertebrates. Many birds migrate or
fly at high altitudes, while egg-laying and feather production
places high demands on nutrient uptake and storage. This book is
the only comprehensive and up-to-date survey of avian biochemistry
and molecular biology available. It emphasises the similarities and
differences between birds and other vertebrates, concentrating on
new developments. The first section deals with protein, lipid and
carbohydrate metabolism, its hormonal control and the adaptations
that occur in birds. The second covers the avian genome, gene
expression, and avian immunology. Growth and embryological
development are also discussed. Avian Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology will be of interest to all those working on birds,
especially postgraduate students and researchers.

This important book attempts to analyze the reasons for the
predominance in classical music of composers of Jewish descent
while highlighting their role within the production of works of
significant importance, particularly over the last two hundred
years
