Abstract excerpt
Preserving genetic diversity is pivotal for enhancing genetic improvement and facilitating adaptive responses to selection. This study focuses on identifying key genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertion/deletion polymorphisms (INDELs), and copy number variants (CNVs), while exploring the genomic evolutionary connectedness among seven Iranian horses representing five indigenous...
