Genetic mechanisms and population structure of growth and development in black Tibetan sheep revealed by genome-wide association study and whole-genome resequencing.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The black Tibetan sheep is an important local livestock breed. Deciphering the genetic and molecular mechanisms governing their growth and development is crucial for breeding programs. However, research on their serum metabolome and population genetic structure remains limited. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) integrating phenotypic growth traits and the serum metabolome in...
