The development of improved methods for genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) for
genetics of quantitative traits has been an active area of research during the last 25 years …

Background Copy number variation (CNV) is an important source of structural variation in
the mammalian genome. CNV assays present a new method to explore the genomic …

Abstract Riverine Buffaloes, especially the Murrah breed because of their adaptability to
harsh climatic conditions, is farmed in many countries to convert low-quality feed into …

Copy number variations (CNVs) have garnered increasing attention within the realm of
genetics due to their prevalence in human, animal, and plant genomes. These structural …

Abstract Background In Iran, river buffalo is of great importance. It plays an important role in
the economy of the Country, because its adaptation to harsh climate conditions and long …

Copy number variation (CNV), an important source of genomic structural variation, can
disturb genetic structure, dosage, regulation and expression, and is associated with …

Background Sheep and goats have undergone domestication and improvement to produce
similar phenotypes, which have been greatly impacted by structural variants (SVs). Here, we …

Identification of selection signatures may provide a better understanding of domestication
process and candidate genes contributing to this process. In this study, two populations of …

The agouti signaling protein (ASIP) gene has a crucial role in pigmentation by encoding a
protein that binds the melanocortin 1 receptor and stimulates the synthesis of pheomelanin …

Abstract The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana) is a wild goat species that inhabits the Sahara
and Arabian deserts and is adapted to extreme ambient temperatures, intense solar …
