Abstract excerpt
The problem of copper (Cu) intoxication and deficiency continues to impact economic gains and animal welfare in sheep husbandry. This study investigated the ovine genome for regions and potential genes under selection for Cu accretion between sheep breeds. For this, we compared ovine single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data of three Cu-susceptible breeds with three Cu-tolerant breeds. After merging SNP data of...
