Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Coat color was an economic trait in sheep, and identifying the causal variations affecting its diverse phenotypes had long been of interest. We performed whole-genome sequencing (WGS) to investigate the genetic composition and conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for coat color using our lab data for 115 sheep (80 newly sequenced) from four Liangshan populations. Additionally, we retrieved...
