Abstract excerpt
This study was designed to assess the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of five sheep breeds in Shanxi Province, China, and to infer the heterosis potential based on their genetic relationships using 20 genome-wide microsatellite markers. Our analysis focused on the local Guangling Large Tail Sheep (GLLTS) breed and four introduced breeds: Hu Sheep (HS), Oula Tibetan Sheep (OLTS), Texel Sheep...
