Abstract excerpt
Copy number variants (CNVs) represent a form of genomic structural variation underlying phenotypic diversity. In this study, we used the Illumina Ovine SNP 600 K BeadChip array for genome-wide detection of CNVs in 48 Chinese Tan sheep. A total of 1,296 CNV regions (CNVRs), ranging from 1.2 kb to 2.3 Mb in length, were detected, representing approximately 4.7% of the entire ovine genome (Oar_v3.1). We combined our...
