The distribution of runs of homozygosity and selection signatures in six commercial meat sheep breeds.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2017

Abstract excerpt

Domestication and the subsequent selection of animals for either economic or morphological features can leave a variety of imprints on the genome of a population. Genomic regions subjected to high selective pressures often show reduced genetic diversity and frequent runs of homozygosity (ROH). Therefore, the objective of the present study was to use 42,182 autosomal SNPs to identify genomic regions in 3,191 sheep...
