Breed Ancestry, Divergence, Admixture, and Selection Patterns of the Simbra Crossbreed

Breed Ancestry, Divergence, Admixture, and Selection Patterns of the Simbra Crossbreed

In this study, we evaluated an admixed South African Simbra crossbred population, as well as the Brahman (Indicine) and Simmental (Taurine) ancestor populations to understand their genetic architecture and detect genomic regions showing signatures of selection. Animals were genotyped using the Illum...
