Selection signatures for local and regional adaptation in Chinese Mongolian horse breeds reveal candidate genes for hoof health

Abstract Background Thousands of years of natural and artificial selection since the domestication of the horse has shaped the distinctive genomes of Chinese Mongolian horse populations. Consequently, genomic signatures of selection can provide insights into the human-mediated selection history of s...
