Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Natural and artificial selection are believed to have left traces on the genomes of livestock, often characterized by the fixation of variants linked to traits under selection. These footprints differentiate populations genetically. The selection signatures of four Italian island cattle breeds — Sarda, Sardo Bruna, Sardo Modicana, and Limousine — were studied here using Integrated Haplotype Score,...
