Abstract excerpt
We previously identified broad candidate regions under selection in three ecotypes (plain, hill, and mountain) of Sarda and Valle del Belice sheep across altitudinal gradients using medium-density SNP chips. Here, we employed high-density genotyping data from independent animals to validate and refine these regions, focusing on adaptive signatures in the mountain ecotype. Joint analyses of the three ecotypes...
