Runs of Homozygosity in Modern Chicken Revealed by Sequence Data

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are chromosomal stretches that in a diploid genome appear in a homozygous state and display identical alleles at multiple contiguous loci. This study aimed to systematically compare the genomic distribution of the ROH islands among five populations of wild vs. commercial c...
