Selective Sweeps Uncovering the Genetic Basis of Horn and Adaptability Traits on Fine-Wool Sheep in China

Long-term natural and artificial selection leads to change in certain regions of the genome, resulting in selection signatures that can reveal genes associated with selected traits, such as horns (i.e., polled/horned), high-quality wool traits, and high-altitude hypoxia adaptability. These are compl...
