A genome wide survey of SNP variation reveals the genetic structure of sheep breeds.

A genome wide survey of SNP variation reveals the genetic structure of sheep breeds.

The genetic structure of sheep reflects their domestication and subsequent formation into discrete breeds. Understanding genetic structure is essential for achieving genetic improvement through genome-wide association studies, genomic selection and the dissection of quantitative traits. After identi...
