Estimates of genomic inbreeding and identification of candidate regions that differ between Chinese indigenous sheep breeds

Estimates of genomic inbreeding and identification of candidate regions that differ between Chinese indigenous sheep breeds

Abstract Background A run of homozygosity (ROH) is a consecutive tract of homozygous genotypes in an individual that indicates it has inherited the same ancestral haplotype from both parents. Genomic inbreeding can be quantified based on ROH. Genomic regions enriched with ROH may be indicative of se...
