Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Copy number variation (CNV) is an important source of genetic variation that has a significant influence on phenotypic diversity, economically important traits and the evolution of livestock species. In this study, the genome-wide CNV distribution characteristics of 32 fine-wool sheep from three breeds were analyzed using resequencing. RESULTS: A total of 1,747,604 CNVs were detected in this study,...
