The book "Molecular Genetics in Animal Breeding" is a comprehensive guide that covers both basic and advanced concepts in the field. The main focus of the book is to provide a thorough understanding of molecular genetics and its applications in animal breeding.
The introductory section of the book discusses the significance of molecular genetics in animal breeding. The basics of genetics, including genome organization and the current status of genome maps of livestock, are covered. The book also provides an overview of various molecular markers, such as RFLP, RAPD, microsatellite/minisatellite markers, SNP markers, and DNA fingerprinting.
The book then moves on to more advanced topics, such as DNA sequencing, genome sequencing, genomic library, and PCR techniques. Transgenesis and methods of gene transfer are also discussed. Additionally, the book includes a detailed discussion of statistical techniques for analyzing molecular genetic data, QTL mapping, genome scan, candidate gene approach, genomic selection, and marker-assisted selection.
The book is especially useful for students and professionals who are preparing for entrance exams like ICAR-SRF, ARS, and other competitive exams in the field of animal breeding. Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of molecular genetics in animal breeding, from students and researchers to professionals and industry practitioners.

He enriched his practical knowledge and expertise in the subject of Animal Breeding while disbursing his duties as Scheme Incharge at Livestock Research Station of the same university for 9 years. During the same tenure he also accumulated practical expertise on various aspects of field level breeding programs while heading “All India Coordinated Research Project on Goat Improvement - Surti Field Unit” as Principal Investigator. He completed his Ph.D. in the year 2016 from the same university as an inservice candidate. He had worked on gene expression studies on mammary epithelial cells of buffaloes during his Ph.D. degree program. He had been selected as Associate Professor in the department of Animal Genetics & Breeding, College of Veterinary and Animal Science, Sardar Vallbhbhai, Patel University of Agriculture & Technology, Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, India in the year 2018. Since then he has been heading the same department as Officer-Incharge. He had handled 5 externally funded and 27 institutionally funded research projects. He had coguided two masters students. He has in his credit 64 research papers, 14 research recommendations, 8 lecture notes and 4 success stories. He is a member of 4 professional societies and attended 21 conferences/ symposiums/ workshops. He has remained on a panel of experts for framing question papers for National level, State level examination bodies and various Universities.
