How to study runs of homozygosity using PLINK? A guide for analyzing medium density SNP data in livestock and pet species
Abstract Background PLINK is probably the most used program for analyzing SNP genotypes and runs of homozygosity (ROH), both in human and in animal populations. The last decade, ROH analyses have become the state-of-the-art method for inbreeding assessment. In PLINK, the --homozyg function is used t...
