Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genomic regions with a high frequency of runs of homozygosity (ROH) are related to important traits in farm animals. We carried out a comprehensive analysis of ROH and evaluated their association with production traits using the BovineHD (770 K) SNP array in Chinese Simmental beef cattle. RESULTS: We detected a total of 116,953 homozygous segments with 2.47Gb across the genome in the studied...
