Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am excited to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue in Genes titled “Genetics and Genomics of Reproduction in Domestic Animals”. The application of cutting-edge tools in genetic and genomic studies has transformed our understanding of the genetic foundations of reproductive traits, allowing for more precise selection and breeding strategies. These advancements have not only improved reproductive efficiency but have also made significant contributions to the health, productivity, and sustainability of domestic animal populations.
This Special Issue is dedicated to presenting cutting-edge research and innovative approaches focused on the impact of genetic and genomic research on advancing reproductive science in livestock. By addressing the challenges faced in animal reproduction, these contributions aim to drive progress in animal husbandry and enhance food security. This Special Issue encompasses a range of topics related to reproduction, including but not limited to genetic markers, epigenetic influences, mitochondrial genetics, sex determination, genomic selection, and gene-editing technologies. This Special Issue features a collection of peer-reviewed research papers, review articles, and opinion pieces that highlight the latest advancements and perspectives in this critical area.
We are looking forward to receiving your manuscripts.
Dr. Shahin Eghbalsaied
Guest Editor
