Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Tan sheep is a Chinese indigenous breed prized for dual-purpose production of premium pelts and flavorful mutton, featuring a distinctive fat-tailed phenotype. The genetic basis of its body conformation remains largely unexplored. RESULTS: We conducted the first whole-genome sequencing-based genome-wide association study in 249 seven-month-old Tan sheep. Comprehensive population genetics analyses...
