Genetic Characterization of Fitness Traits / Shweta Sachan - Delhi : Satish Serial Publishing House, 2023. - 177P. : ILL, ; 24 cm.

Fitness Traits Analysis: Examination of traits such as litter size and lactation in mammals, and their susceptibility to inbreeding depression.
Microsatellite Markers: Utilization of microsatellite markers for genetic characterization and performance evaluation in mice.
Gene Expression Profiling: Assessment of gene expression related to fitness traits in different breeding populations.

This book presents an in-depth analysis of the genetic factors influencing fitness traits in animals, focusing on inbred and outbred Swiss albino mice. It explores how inbreeding and outcrossing affect genetic diversity and trait expression, utilizing microsatellite markers and gene expression profiling to assess traits like litter size and lactation. The work is based on Dr. Sachan's Ph.D. dissertation and aims to consolidate information on the genetic characterization and expression of genes related to fitness traits.
