Composite selection signal analysis: Uncovering candidate genes and quantitative trait loci in Indian sheep breeds.

Abstract excerpt

Selective pressures, both natural and artificial, have significantly influenced the genomic architecture of domesticated sheep. Understanding their underlying molecular mechanisms is critical for developing efficient breeding programs to conserve and improve economically important traits in native breeds. In this study, we analysed high-density 50K SNP data from three Indigenous sheep breeds: Chanthangi (CHA,...
