Genome-Wide Detection of Selection Signatures for Pelt Quality Traits and Coat Color Using Whole-Genome Sequencing Data in American Mink

Genome-Wide Detection of Selection Signatures for Pelt Quality Traits and Coat Color Using Whole-Genome Sequencing Data in American Mink

Domestication and selection are the major driving forces responsible for creating genetic variability in farmed species. American mink has been under selection for more than 100 years for improved body size and pelt quality. This study aimed to identify the genomic regions subjected to selection for...
