Abstract excerpt
Within the scope of current genetic diversity analyses, population structure and homozygosity measures are independently analyzed and interpreted. To enhance analytical power, we combined the visualization of recently described high-resolution population networks with runs of homozygosity (ROH). In this study, we demonstrate that this approach enabled us to reveal important aspects of the breeding history of the...
