Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Since their domestication, domestic sheep (Ovis aries) have been culturally and economically significant farming animals worldwide. Fat-tailed sheep serve as a unique genetic resource for understanding adipogenesis and adaptive evolution in livestock. OBJECTIVES: Several genomic analyses have been conducted on various sheep breeds to elucidate the genome and regulation mechanism of the fat tail...
