Genome-wide identification of copy number variation and association with fat deposition in thin and fat-tailed sheep breeds

Abstract Copy number variants (CNVs) are a type of genetic polymorphism which contribute to phenotypic variation in several species, including livestock. In this study, we used genomic data of 192 animals from 3 Iranian sheep breeds including 96 Baluchi sheep and 47 Lori-Bakhtiari sheep as fat-taile...
