Dogs of different breeds can range remarkably in size, shape, and behaviour, and yet they all carry essentially the same genome, making them a particularly fascinating model for for studying genome plasticity.
The recent release of the complete sequence of the dog genome provides an exciting new context in which to consider such variation.
This volume contains 584 pages comprising twenty-five chapters written by experts in the field and includes various aspects of structural and behavioural variation in dogs, their origins and domestication, and their unique value as a model system for many common, but complex human diseases, such as diabetes and cancer.
