Whole-Genome Sequencing Reveals Breed-Specific SNPs, Indels, and Signatures of Selection in Royal White and White Dorper Sheep

2026-02-05

Abstract excerpt

Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) is a powerful tool for uncovering genome-wide variation, identifying selection signatures, and guiding genetic improvement in livestock. Royal White (RW) and White Dorper (WD) sheep are economically important meat-type hair breeds in the U.S., yet their genomic architecture remains poorly characterized. In this study, WGS was performed on 20 ewe sheep (n = 11 RW, n = 9 WD) to identify...
