Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Understanding how evolutionary forces relating to climate have shaped the patterns of genetic variation within and between species is a fundamental pursuit in biology. Iranian indigenous chickens have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environmental conditions, such as hot and arid regions. In the present study, we provide a population genome landscape of genetic variations in 72 chickens...
