Abstract excerpt
Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are chromosomal stretches that in a diploid genome appear in a homozygous state and display identical alleles at multiple contiguous loci. This study aimed to systematically compare the genomic distribution of the ROH islands among five populations of wild vs commercial chickens of both layer and broiler type. To this end, we analyzed whole genome sequences of 115 birds including white...
