Distribution of runs of homozygosity in Lactuca species and its implications for plant breeding and evolutionary conservation

Abstract Runs of homozygosity (ROH) have been extensively investigated to uncover the genomic inbred regions that reflect past population and breeding histories. In this study, we have explored the distribution and number of ROH in different Lactuca species including the cultivated lettuce varieties...
