This review presents a broader approach to the implementation and study of runs of
homozygosity (ROH) in animal populations, focusing on identifying and characterizing ROH …

Recent research on the transition period (TP) of dairy cows has highlighted the pivotal role
of immune function in affecting the severity of metabolic challenges the animals face when …

Domestication and the subsequent selection of animals for either economic or
morphological features can leave a variety of imprints on the genome of a population …

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 …

detectRUNS is a R package for the detection of runs of homozygosity (ROH/ROHom) and of
heterozygosity (ROHet, aka “heterozygosity-rich regions”) in diploid genomes. ROH/ROHom …

Background The detection of signatures of selection has the potential to elucidate the
identities of genes and mutations associated with phenotypic traits important for livestock …

Background Levels of inbreeding in cattle populations have increased in the past due to the
use of a limited number of bulls for artificial insemination. High levels of inbreeding lead to …

In the local breeds with small population size, one of the most important problems is the
increase of inbreeding coefficient (F). High levels of inbreeding lead to reduced genetic …

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 …
