Using sheep genomes from diverse U.S. breeds to identify missense variants in genes affecting fecundity [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Background:  Access to sheep genome sequences significantly improves the chances of identifying genes that may influence the health, welfare, and productivity of these animals.   Methods:  A public, searchable DNA sequence resource for U.S. sheep was created with whole genome sequence (WGS) of 96 ra...
