Background While autozygosity as a consequence of selection is well understood, there is
limited information on the ability of different methods to measure true inbreeding. In the …

Background Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous homozygous segments of the
DNA sequence. They have been applied to quantify individual autozygosity and used as a …

Bos indicus cattle acquired very particular traits to thrive in distinct environments based on
the evolutionary adaptation process they have undergone, becoming particularly relevant for …

Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are long stretches of homozygous genomic segments,
identifiable by molecular markers, which can provide genomic information for accurate …

Genome-wide pattern of runs of homozygosity (ROH) across ovine genome can provide a
useful resource for studying diversity and demography history in sheep. We analyzed 50 k …

Background The aim of this study was to assess genome-wide autozygosity in a Nellore
cattle population and to characterize ROH patterns and autozygosity islands that may have …

The recent evolution of cattle is marked by fluctuations in body size. Height in the Bos taurus
lineage was reduced by a factor of~ 1.5 from the Neolithic to the Middle Ages, and increased …

The wide use of genomic information has enabled the identification of lethal recessive
alleles that are the major genetic causes of reduced conception rates, longer calving …

The characterization of runs of homozygosity (ROH), using high-density single nucleotide
polymorphisms (SNPs) allows inferences to be made about the past demographic history of …

In this paper, we have used two approaches to detect genetic associations with scrotal
hernias in commercial pigs. Firstly, we have investigated the effects of runs of homozygosity …
