Origin, demographics, inbreeding, phylogenetics, and phenogenetics of Karamaniko breed, a major common ancestor of the autochthonous Greek sheep.

Abstract excerpt

Greece has a long history in autochthonous sheep, the genetic ancestry of which has been associated with four subtypes known to inhabit Greece at the end of the nineteenth century. Among them, the Karamaniko breed is still surviving, however endangered. This study was designed in order to (a) determine the phylogenetic status, (b) to evaluate the levels of inbreeding, and (c) to assess the genetic basis of coat...
