RNA-Seq based selection signature analysis for identifying genomic footprints associated with the fat-tail phenotype in sheep

Understanding the genetic background behind fat-tail development in sheep can be useful to develop breeding programs for genetic improvement, while the genetic basis of fat-tail formation is still not well understood. Here, to identify genomic regions influencing fat-tail size in sheep, a comprehens...
