Genome-Wide Patterns of Homozygosity and Relevant Characterizations on the Population Structure in Piétrain Pigs

Genome-Wide Patterns of Homozygosity and Relevant Characterizations on the Population Structure in Piétrain Pigs

Investigating the patterns of homozygosity, linkage disequilibrium, effective population size and inbreeding coefficients in livestock contributes to our understanding of the genetic diversity and evolutionary history. Here we used Illumina PorcineSNP50 Bead Chip to identify the runs of homozygosity...
