The natural adaptation and human selection history of African sheep genomes

2021-11-19

Abstract excerpt

African sheep manifest diverse but distinct physio-anatomical traits which are the outcomes of natural- and human-driven selection. Here, we generated 34.8 million variants from 150 indigenous African sheep genomes sequenced at an average depth of ∼54x for 130 samples (Ethiopia, Libya) and ∼10x for 20 samples (Sudan), representing sheep from diverse environments, tail morphology and post-Neolithic introductions to...
