Genome-wide analysis reveals signatures of selection for important traits in domestic sheep from different ecoregions.

BMC genomics - 3 Nov 2016

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Throughout a long period of adaptation and selection, sheep have thrived in a diverse range of ecological environments. Mongolian sheep is the common ancestor of the Chinese short fat-tailed sheep. Migration to different ecoregions leads to changes in selection pressures and results in microevolution. Mongolian sheep and its subspecies differ in a number of important traits, especially reproductive...
