Milk fatty acids are essential for many dairy product productions, while intramuscular fat
(IMF) is associated with the quality of meat. The triacylglycerols (TAGs) are the major …

Simple Summary The physical characteristics that are observed at first sight in an animal (for
example, coat color) tell us a lot about its capacity to adapt to the surrounding environment …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are major forms of genetic variation with an increasing
importance in animal genomics. This study used the Illumina BovineSNP 50 K BeadChip to …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major source of structural variation in mammalian
genomes. Here, we characterized the genome-wide CNV in 2059 sheep from 67 …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genomic structural variations and can give
rise to significant phenotypic diversity. Herein, we used high-density 600K SNP arrays to …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are structural variants consisting of
large-scale insertions and deletions of genomic fragments. Exploring CNVs and estimating …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are crucial structural genomic variants affecting complex
traits in humans and livestock animals. The current study was designed to conduct a …

Background Copy number variation (CNV) is an important source of genetic variation that
has a significant influence on phenotypic diversity, economically important traits and the …

Simple Summary The aim of this work is to identify CNVs and perform a CNV-based
population genetics analysis in five Italian sheep breeds (Barbaresca, Comisana, Pinzirita …

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 …
