Detection and evaluation of parameters influencing the identification of heterozygous-enriched regions in Holstein cattle based on SNP chip or whole-genome sequence data.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: A heterozygous-enriched region (HER) is a genomic region with high variability generated by factors such as balancing selection, introgression, and admixture processes. In this study, we evaluated the genomic background of HERs and the impact of different parameters (i.e., minimum number of SNPs in a HER, maximum distance between two consecutive SNPs, minimum length of a HER, maximum number of...
