Using High-Density SNP Array to Reveal Selection Signatures Related to Prolificacy in Chinese and Kazakhstan Sheep Breeds

Using High-Density SNP Array to Reveal Selection Signatures Related to Prolificacy in Chinese and Kazakhstan Sheep Breeds

Selection signature provides an efficient tool to explore genes related to traits of interest. In this study, 176 ewes from one Chinese uniparous breed and three Kazakhstan multiparous breeds are genotyped using Affymetrix 600K HD single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) arrays, F-statistics (Fst), and...
