Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide studies in livestock have become essential tools for investigating genetic diversity, population structure, and adaptive evolution. By leveraging high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays, researchers can identify genomic regions under selection and trace the demographic history of breeds. Among the most informative genomic features are Runs of Homozygosity (ROH), which reflect...
