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 …

Simple Summary Heterozygosity-rich regions (HRRs) are regions of high heterozygosity,
which can harbor important genes associated with key functional traits such as immune …

Simple Summary The degree of relationship among livestock breeds can be quantified by
the Fst statistic, which measures the extent of genetic differentiation between them. An Fst …

Determining the impact of ecological processes on adaptive genetic variation in wild
populations can aid in evaluating the resilience potential in species of conservation concern …

Long-term sustainability of breeds depends on having sufficient genetic diversity for
adaptability to change, whether driven by climatic conditions or by priorities in breeding …

The Montecristo wild goat is an endangered feral population that has been on the
homonymous island in the Tuscan Archipelago since ancient times. The origins of …

Bos taurus (taurine) and Bos indicus (indicine) cattle diverged at least 150,000 years ago
and, since that time, substantial genomic differences have evolved between the two …

The runs of homozygosity (ROHs), the inbreeding coefficient, and the effective population
size (Ne) in Pelibuey sheep were analyzed in 24 Pelibuey ewes from two lambs at …

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) stretches are continuous homozygous fragments of the

(1) Background: The Fst statistic is widely used to characterize between-breed relationships.
Fst= 0.1 has frequently been taken as indicating genetic distinctiveness between breeds …
