Signatures of selection identify loci associated with fat tail in sheep.

Journal of animal science - 1 Oct 2015

Moioli B, Pilla F, Ciani E

Abstract excerpt

Identification of genomic regions that have been targets of selection for phenotypic traits is one of the most challenging applications of dense marker panels in animal genetics. In this study, a genomewide scan using approximately 50,000 SNP was performed in an attempt to identify genomic regions associated with fat deposition in sheep, the importance of this not only being limited to livestock facing future...
