Estimation of genetic parameters for parasite resistance and genome-wide identification of runs of homozygosity islands in Florida Cracker sheep

Estimation of genetic parameters for parasite resistance and genome-wide identification of runs of homozygosity islands in Florida Cracker sheep

In this study, we estimated genetic parameters for parasite resistance traits and the distribution of runs of homozygosity islands in Florida Cracker sheep. The dataset contained 365 animals with phenotypic records at 38 days post-infection for fecal egg count (FEC), packed cell volume (PCV), FAMACH...
