Canine Genetics and Epidemiology is an open-access journal focusing on advancing our understanding of canine health through genetics and epidemiology. The journal covers canine-specific research and promotes the use of genetic tools to study disease susceptibility, breed predispositions, and the overall genetic architecture of various traits in dogs. It delivers key insights to researchers interested in the genetic basis of health and disease in dogs.
The journal's scope includes genetic mapping, genome-wide association studies (GWAS), and epidemiological studies focused on identifying risk factors for canine diseases. Topics include, but are not limited to, inherited disorders, cancer genetics, and infectious disease susceptibility, and seeks to provide a platform for sharing research relevant to both veterinary and human health. Research is valuable for understanding the shared genetic links between dogs and humans.
Canine Genetics and Epidemiology offers a valuable resource for veterinary geneticists, epidemiologists, and other researchers interested in canine health and evolution. The journal encourages submissions that contribute to the development of new diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for improving canine welfare. With its open-access format, the journal ensures that research findings are widely accessible, promoting collaboration and accelerating the translation of discoveries into practical applications.
