Genome-Wide Characterization of Selection Signatures and Runs of Homozygosity in Ugandan Goat Breeds

Genome-Wide Characterization of Selection Signatures and Runs of Homozygosity in Ugandan Goat Breeds

Both natural and artificial selection are among the main driving forces shaping genetic variation across the genome of livestock species. Selection typically leaves signatures in the genome, which are often characterized by high genetic differentiation across breeds and/or a strong reduction in gene...
