Characterization of runs of homozygosity, heterozygosity-enriched regions, and population structure in cattle populations selected for different breeding goals
Background A decline in the level of genetic diversity in livestock can result in reduced
response to selection, greater incidence of genetic defects, and inbreeding depression. In …

Selection, recombination and population history effects on runs of homozygosity (ROH) in wild red deer (Cervus elaphus)
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 …

Functional and population genetic features of copy number variations in two dairy cattle populations
Abstract Background Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are gain or loss of DNA segments
that are known to play a role in shaping a wide range of phenotypes. In this study, we used …
