Abstract excerpt
Domestication and selection are the major driving forces responsible for creating genetic variability in farmed species. American mink has been under selection for more than 100 years for improved body size and pelt quality. This study aimed to identify the genomic regions subjected to selection for pelt quality traits, and coat color using the whole genome sequences of 100 mink raised in the Canadian Centre for...
