Domesticated plants have long served as excellent models for studying evolution. Many
genes and mutations underlying important domestication traits have been identified, and …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are regions of the genome that vary in integer copy number.
CNVs, which comprise both amplifications and deletions of DNA sequence, have been …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are a major component of genotypic and phenotypic variation
in genomes. To date, our knowledge of genotypic variation and evolution has largely been …

The rate of adaptive evolution depends on the rate at which beneficial mutations are
introduced into a population and the fitness effects of those mutations. The rate of beneficial …

Genome-wide structural and gene content variations are hypothesized to drive important
phenotypic variation within a species. Structural and gene content variations were assessed …

Domestic goats (Capra hircus) are spread across the five continents with a census of 1
billion individuals. The worldwide population of goats descends from a limited number of …

Copy number variants (CNVs) are a pervasive source of genetic variation and evolutionary
potential, but the dynamics and diversity of CNVs within evolving populations remain …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major type of structural genomic
variants that underlie genetic architecture and phenotypic variation of complex traits, not …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are widespread in the human or
animal genome and are a significant source of genetic variation, which has been …

The association between chromosomal abnormalities and reduced fertility in domestic
animals is well recorded and has been studied for decades. Chromosome aberrations …
