Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity in Chinese Wagyu Beef Cattle

Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity in Chinese Wagyu Beef Cattle

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are continuous homozygous regions that generally exist in the DNA sequence of diploid organisms. Identifications of ROH leading to reduction in performance can provide valuable insight into the genetic architecture of complex traits. Here, we evaluated genome-wide patterns...
