The distribution of runs of homozygosity and selection signatures in six commercial meat sheep breeds.
Domestication and the subsequent selection of animals for either economic or morphological features can leave a variety of imprints on the genome of a population. Genomic regions subjected to high selective pressures often show reduced genetic diversity and frequent runs of homozygosity (ROH). There...
