There is unique genetic information belonging to various kinds of living beings. Understanding of the formation process of organisms and a variety of vital movement is associated with the achievements of genome study. As horse has a notable health condition and great record of the genealogy in the world, thus it becomes a valuable model animal for studying life science. Despite of a late start, the map of the horse genome has undergone unprecedented expansion during the last few years. The current progresses of the horse genome, including genetic map, physical map, comparative genomic map, and functional genomics, were reviewed in this paper. The maps are currently used worldwide to discover genes associated with various traits of significance in horse including general health, disease resistance, reproduction, fertility, athletic performance, phenotypic characteristics like coat color, etc. The results are believed to provide new ideas and approaches for prevention, diagnostics, and therapeutic for horses, and also better foundation of breed selection and equine genetic breeding.
