Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity and Estimates of Genomic Inbreeding in a Chinese Composite Pig Breed

Genome-Wide Assessment of Runs of Homozygosity and Estimates of Genomic Inbreeding in a Chinese Composite Pig Breed

The primary purpose of the current study was to assess the genetic diversity, runs of homozygosity (ROH) and ROH islands in a Chinese composite pig and explore hotspot regions for traces of selection. First, we estimated the length, number, and frequency of ROH in 262 Xidu black pigs using the Porci...
