Abstract excerpt
Copy number variation (CNV) represents a major source of genomic variation. We investigated the diversity of CNV distribution using SNP array data collected from a comprehensive collection of geographically dispersed sheep breeds. We identified 24,558 putative CNVs, which can be merged into 619 CNV regions, spanning 197Mb of total length and corresponding to ~6.9% of the sheep genome. Our results reveal a...
