Genome-wide landscape of genetic diversity, runs of homozygosity, and runs of heterozygosity in five Alpine and Mediterranean goat breeds

Genome-wide landscape of genetic diversity, runs of homozygosity, and runs of heterozygosity in five Alpine and Mediterranean goat breeds

Abstract Background Goat breeds in the Alpine area and Mediterranean basin exhibit a unique genetic heritage shaped by centuries of selection and adaptability to harsh environments. Understanding their adaptive traits can aid breeding programs target enhanced resilience and productivity, especially...
