Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Domestication has shaped the horse and lead to a group of many different types. Some have been under strong human selection while others developed in close relationship with nature. The aim of our study was to perform next generation sequencing of breed and non-breed horses to provide an insight into genetic influences on selective forces. RESULTS: Whole genome sequencing of five horses of four...
