Genetic diversity and signatures of selection for heat tolerance and immune response in Iranian native chickens
Abstract Background Understanding how evolutionary forces relating to climate have shaped the patterns of genetic variation within and between species is a fundamental pursuit in biology. Iranian indigenous chickens have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environmental conditions, such as ho...
