Detection of genomic regions underlying resistance to gastrointestinal parasites in Australian sheep
3 Jul 2019
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed at identifying genomic regions that underlie genetic variation of worm egg count, as an indicator trait for parasite resistance in a large population of Australian sheep, which was genotyped with the high-density 600 K Ovine single nucleotide polymorphism array. This study included 7539 sheep from different locations across Australia that underwent a field challenge with mixed...
