Differential patterns in runs of homozygosity in two mice lines under divergent selection for environmental variability for birth weight.

Abstract excerpt

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are defined as long continuous homozygous stretches in the genome which are assumed to originate from a common ancestor. It has been demonstrated that divergent selection for variability in mice is possible and that low variability in birth weight is associated with robustness. To analyse ROH patterns and ROH-based genomic inbreeding, two mouse lines that were divergently selected for...
