Estimation of inbreeding and identification of regions under heavy selection based on runs of homozygosity in a Large White pig population

Estimation of inbreeding and identification of regions under heavy selection based on runs of homozygosity in a Large White pig population

Abstract Background Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are homozygous segments of the genome where the two haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical. The current availability of genotypes for a very large number of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is leading to more accurate characterizatio...
