Genome-Wide Signatures of Selection Reveal Genes Associated With Performance in American Quarter Horse Subpopulations

Selective breeding for athletic performance in various disciplines has resulted in population stratification within the American Quarter Horse (QH) breed. The goals of this study were to utilize high density genotype data to: (1) identify genomic regions undergoing positive selection within and amon...
