Horse Genome Project

The Horse Genome Project is an international effort to map and understand the complete set of genes (genome) in a horse's DNA. By decoding the horse genome, scientists can identify genes responsible for traits like health, temperament, and physical features. This knowledge helps improve horse breeding, diagnose genetic diseases, and enhance our understanding of equine biology. The project involves sequencing the horse's DNA and creating a detailed genetic blueprint, which can be used for research and applied to better horse health and performance.
