Whole-genome resequencing of the native sheep provides insights into the microevolution and identifies genes associated with reproduction traits

Abstract Background Sheep genomes undergo numerous genes losses, gains and mutation that generates genome variability among breeds of the same species after long time natural and artificial selection. However, the microevolution of native sheep in northwest China remains elusive. Our aim was to comp...
