Selection Signatures in South African Nguni and Bonsmara Cattle Populations Reveal Genes Relating to Environmental Adaptation
Climate change is a major influencing factor in beef production. The greenhouse gases produced from livestock production systems contribute to the overall greenhouse gas emissions. The aim of this study was to identify selection signatures within and between Nguni and Bonsmara cattle in relation to...
