Abstract excerpt
Understanding the genomic characteristics of livestock is crucial for improving breeding efficiency and conservation efforts. However, there is a relative lack of information on the genetic makeup of local goat breeds in Henan, China. In this study, we identified runs of homozygosity (ROH), genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH), and selection signatures in four breeds including Funiu White (FNW), Huai (HG),...
