Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate the genomic structure of the cattle breeds selected for meat and milk production and to identify selection signatures between them. METHODS: A total of 391 animals genotyped at 41,258 SNPs and belonging to nine breeds were considered: Angus (N = 62), Charolais (46), Hereford (31), Limousin (44), and Piedmontese (24), clustered in the Meat group, and Brown Swiss...
