Abstract excerpt
The genetic composition of populations is the result of a long-term process of selection and adaptation to specific environments and ecosystems. Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are homozygous segments of the genome where the 2 haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical. The detection of ROH can be used to describe the genetic variability and quantify the level of inbreeding in an individual. Here, we...
