Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade Genes has devoted several Special Issues to canine genetics and continues to publish the latest research on genetic variation and the molecular basis of traits and diseases in canines. The continued growth in genome sequencing, including the recent explosion in long-read genomics, promises to yield further insights from this important model. The continued importance of canine genetics and genomics is recognized with this Special Issue.
This Special Issue will cover all aspects of canine genetics and genomics that use genome-scale data including studies of genetic variation, evolution, domestication, comparative genomics, genome structure and function, and the mapping and analysis of traits, morphologies, behaviors, and diseases. Both original research reports and reviews focused on aspects of canine genome variation are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Jeffrey Kidd

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
