Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Signatures of selection are regions in the genome that have been preferentially increased in frequency and fixed in a population because of their functional importance in specific processes. These regions can be detected because of their lower genetic variability and specific regional linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns. METHODS: By comparing the differences in regional LD variation between dairy and...
