Abstract excerpt

Moroccan sheep breeds exhibit distinct adaptive traits shaped by diverse genetic ancestries and influenced by the country’s diverse environmental landscapes. In this work, we studied five breeds reared in different geographical regions of Morocco, namely Beni Guil, D’man, Sardi, Timahdite, and Ouled Djellal. We raegeted 105 high-confidence Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) located within 18 genes associated...
