Sheep genome functional annotation reveals proximal regulatory elements contributed to the evolution of modern breeds

The domestication of plants and animals causes genomic changes underlying various morphologic, physiologic and behavioral changes. Here, Naval-Sanchez et al. provide a ChIP-Seq validated comparative functional annotation of the sheep genome, and show widespread evolution of proximal regulatory eleme...
