In the past decade, the view on genomic structural variation (SV) has been changed
completely. SVs, previously considered rare events, are now recognized as the largest …

Copy number variation (CNV) might be one of the main contributors to phenotypic diversity
and evolutionary adaptation in animals and plants, employing a wide variety of mechanisms …

Copy number variations (CNVs) affect a wide range of phenotypic traits; however, CNVs in
or near segmental duplication regions are often intractable. Using a read depth approach …

Background One of the goals of livestock genomics research is to identify the genetic
differences responsible for variation in phenotypic traits, particularly those of economic …

Background Copy number variation (CNV) represents another important source of genetic
variation complementary to single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP). High-density SNP array …

Abstract Background The goat (Capra hircus) represents one of the most important farm
animal species. It is reared in all continents with an estimated world population of about 800 …

Chinese indigenous sheep can be classified into three types based on tail morphology: fat-
tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep, of which the typical breeds are large-tailed Han …

We carried out a cross species cattle–sheep array comparative genome hybridization
experiment to identify copy number variations (CNVs) in the sheep genome analysing ewes …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are widespread in the human or
animal genome and are a significant source of genetic variation, which has been …

Background In recent years, genome-wide association studies have successfully uncovered
single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with complex traits such as diseases …
