Abstract excerpt
Copy number variations (CNVs) are defined as deletions, insertions, and duplications between two individuals of a species. To investigate the diversity and population-genetic properties of CNVs and their diverse selection patterns, we performed a genome-wide CNV analysis using high density SNP array in Chinese native cattle. In this study, we detected a total of 13,225 CNV events and 3,356 CNV regions (CNVRs),...
