Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Runs of homozygosity (ROH) occurrence in animal genomes may result from a high level of relatedness within the population or from positive selection. ROH investigation enables the assessment of the degree of individual autozygosity at the genome-wide level, providing insights into genetic background and development history of a population. In this context, the main objectives of this study were to: 1)...
