Runs of homozygosity analysis of South African sheep breeds from various production systems investigated using OvineSNP50k data

Runs of homozygosity analysis of South African sheep breeds from various production systems investigated using OvineSNP50k data

Abstract Background Population history, production system and within-breed selection pressure impacts the genome architecture resulting in reduced genetic diversity and increased frequency of runs of homozygosity islands. This study tested the hypothesis that production systems geared towards specif...
