Abstract excerpt

The Gentile di Puglia is a local Italian Merino-type sheep breed of high historical and economic value, known for its fine wool, and whose conservation depends on an accurate assessment of its genomic diversity. Using a medium-density Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) array, we analysed the population structure, homozygosity and heterozygosity patterns of 1 337 individuals genotyped for 45 869 autosomal SNPs,...
