Selection signatures in Shetland ponies.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2016

Frischknecht M, Flury C, Leeb T, Rieder S, Neuditschko M

Abstract excerpt

Shetland ponies were selected for numerous traits including small stature, strength, hardiness and longevity. Despite the different selection criteria, Shetland ponies are well known for their small stature. We performed a selection signature analysis including genome-wide SNPs of 75 Shetland ponies and 76 large-sized horses. Based upon this dataset, we identified a selection signature on equine chromosome (ECA)...
