Simple Summary As the global population continues to grow and the demand for unique
meat flavor increases, goat meat has emerged as a sustainable choice for meat …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) have been linked to different
phenotypes in human, including many diseases. A genome-scale understanding of CNVs is …

Simple Summary Chickens have been bred for meat and egg production as a source of
animal protein. With the increase of productivity as the main purpose of domestication …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) confer significant effects on genetic
innovation and phenotypic variation. Previous CNV studies in swine seldom focused on in …

Recent studies have found that copy number variations (CNVs) are widespread in human
and animal genomes. CNVs are a significant source of genetic variation, and have been …

Improved understanding of the genetic basis of adaptation to climate change is necessary
for maintaining global biodiversity moving forward. Studies to date have largely focused on …

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

Background In this study we applied the extreme groups/selective genotyping approach for
identifying copy number variations in high and low fertility breeding boars. The fertility …

Domestic yaks (Bos grunniens) and domestic Taurus cattle (Bos taurus) are closely related.
An interesting phenomenon in interspecific crossings is male sterility in the F 1 hybrid (yattle) …

Copy number variants (CNV) are structural variants consisting of duplications or deletions of
genomic fragments longer than 1 kb that present variability in the population and are …
