Abstract excerpt
Sheep seasonal reproduction is regulated by photoperiod via melatonin. Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 2 (IDO2), an enzyme involved in tryptophan metabolism through the kynurenine pathway and belonging to the IDO family, may contribute to melatonin homeostasis, but its role in reproductive seasonality remains unclear. In this study, genome-wide selection analyses combining Z(FST) and XP-EHH between seasonal and...
