The genomic architecture of South African mutton, pelt, dual-purpose and nondescript sheep breeds relative to global sheep populations.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2020

Abstract excerpt

South Africa has a diverse array of phenotypically distinct and locally adapted sheep breeds that have been developed for different production systems ranging from mutton to wool and pelt, and some dual-purpose and nondescript breeds kept by smallholder farmers. This study investigated genetic diversity, population genetic structure and divergence between South African sheep breeds in order to gain an insight...
