Genomics of Disease Edited by: Jerry Taylor, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri Gary Stacey, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri J. Perry Gustafson, USDA-ARS, University of Missouri, Columbia, Missouri Genomics of Disease is the 24th volume in the Stadler Genetics Symposium series published by Springer, which has, over many years, served as a comprehensive collection of current trends and hot topics in the field of genetics. The current volume summarizes recent progress in our attempts to characterize the genomics of plant and animal diseases. Authoritative analytical reviews are specialized to be attractive to professional researchers, teachers, and students, while also being appealing to a wider audience of scientists in related disciplines. Genomics of Disease offers essential reference material for any scientist or teacher working in the fields of plant and animal diseases. Coverage of key areas of both animal and plant disease is a unique feature of this volume and one that allows direct comparisons between the systems. All academics, scientists, and industry professionals that desire to take advantage of the most up-to-date information on the continuously emerging and expanding field of the genomics of plant and animal diseases will find it an invaluable resource. Key features: * Comprehensive coverage of current topics dealing with the genomics of plant and animal diseases * Chapters authored by the key scientists in the field * Accessible utility in a single volume reference About the Editors: Jerry Taylor is a Professor of Animal Sciences and of Genetics and holds the Wurdack Chair in Animal Genomics in the Division of Animal Sciences at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He has received in excess of 11 million in competitive research funding as PI or co-PI, has mentored 9 postdoctoral fellows and has chaired or co-chaired 34 M.S. and Ph.D. graduate programs. Along with his co-investigators and graduate students he has authored 129 peer-reviewed research articles, 4 book chapters and 5 patents. He has served on the Scientific Advisory Board for Sigma-Aldrich Biotechnology in St Louis, MO and was cofounder, board member and a senior executive of GenomicFX an agricultural biotechnology company. He has been the recipient of the Texas A&M University Vice-Chancellor's Awards for Teaching and Team Research. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Gary Stacey is an Endowed Professor of Plant Sciences and Associate Director of the National Center for Soybean Biotechnology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He also holds joint appointments in the Division of Biochemistry and Department of Molecular Microbiology and Immunology. He has authored or co-authored 135 peer-reviewed research articles, 72 book chapters, 14 books, including this volume, and 9 patents. He is past senior editor of the journals Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions and Plant Physiology. He serves on various advisory boards and currently serves on the editorial boards of the journals Bioenergy Research, BMC Plant Genomics and Systems Biology, and Journal of Integrative Plant Biology. In 2005, he was elected by the soybean community to a three-year term on the National Soybean Genetics Executive Committee. Perry Gustafson is a Research Geneticist with the USDA-ARS, and an Adjunct Professor at the University of Missouri, Columbia. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Agronomy, the Crop Science Society of America, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Animal welfare is attracting increasing interest worldwide, but particularly from those in developed countries, who now have the knowledge and resources to be able to offer the best management systems for their farm animals, as well as potentially being able to offer plentiful resources for companion, zoo and laboratory animals. The increased attention given to farm animal welfare in the West derives largely from the fact that the relentless pursuit of financial reward and efficiency has led to the development of intensive animal production systems that challenge the conscience of many consumers in those countries. In developing countries, human survival is still a daily uncertainty, so that provision for animal welfare has to be balanced against human welfare. Welfare is usually provided for only if it supports the output of the animal, be it food, work, clothing, sport or companionship. In re- ity, there are resources for all if they are properly husbanded in both developing and developed countries. The inequitable division of the world's riches creates physical and psychological poverty for humans and animals alike in many parts of the world. Livestock are the world's biggest land user (FAO, 2002) and the population is increasing rapidly to meet the need of an expanding human population. Populations of farm animals managed by humans are therefore increasing worldwide, and there is the tendency to allocate fewer resources to each animal.

Mapping of animal genomes has generated huge databases and several new concepts and strategies, which are useful to elucidate origin, evolution and phylogeny. Genetic and physical maps of genomes further provide precise details on chromosomal location, function, expression and regulation of academically and economically important genes. The series "Genome Mapping and Genomics in Animals" provides comprehensive and up-to-date reviews on genomic research on a large variety of selected animal systems, contributed by leading scientists from around the world. Insects and other arthropods, the largest group of animals in number of species, have global impact on agriculture, industry, human health and environment. They are of particular economic importance for food production as pollinators, for natural products like silk and also as pests and parasites. Arthropods covered in this volume include honeybee, bumblebee, the parasitic Jewel Wasp, silkworm, pea aphid, mosquito, Hessian fly and tick.
