Background Goat populations that are characterized within the AdaptMap project cover a
large part of the worldwide distribution of this species and provide the opportunity to assess …

Background Patterns of homozygosity can be influenced by several factors, such as
demography, recombination, and selection. Using the goat SNP50 BeadChip, we genotyped …

Understanding the genomic features of livestock is essential for successful breeding
programs and conservation. This information is scarce for local goat breeds in Egypt. In the …

In the last decade, several studies aimed at dissecting the genetic architecture of local small
ruminant breeds to discover which variations are involved in the process of adaptation to …

The distribution of runs of homozygosity (ROH) may be shaped by a number of interacting
processes such as selection, recombination and population history, but little is known about …

Simple Summary To maintain the uniqueness of conserved chicken populations of local and
imported breeds is of great importance. In this study, we genotyped small populations …

Goats play an important role in the livestock sector in Greece. The national herd consists
mainly of two indigenous breeds, the Eghoria and Skopelos. Here, we report the population …

Simple Summary In the local populations, the increase in inbreeding is a relevant problem
for the reduction in production, reproduction, and adaptive traits. The application of genomic …

Iberian wild goats (Capra pyrenaica, also known as Iberian ibex, Spanish ibex, and Spanish
wild goat) underwent strong genetic bottlenecks during the 19th and 20th centuries due to …

The Latvian local goat (LVK) breed represents the only native domestic goat breed in Latvia,
but its limited population places it within the endangered category. However, the LVK breed …
