Genome-wide detection of copy number variation in Chinese indigenous sheep using an ovine high-density 600 K SNP array

Abstract Copy number variants (CNVs) represent a form of genomic structural variation underlying phenotypic diversity. In this study, we used the Illumina Ovine SNP 600 K BeadChip array for genome-wide detection of CNVs in 48 Chinese Tan sheep. A total of 1,296 CNV regions (CNVRs), ranging from 1.2 ...
