Abstract excerpt
A genomic study was conducted to uncover the selection signatures in sheep that show extremely significant differences in growth traits under the same breed, age in months, nutrition level, and management practices. Hu sheep from Gansu Province and Gangba sheep from the Tibet Autonomous Region in China were selected. We collected whole-genome data from 40 sheep individuals (24 Hu sheep and 16 Gangba sheep),...
