Copy number variation (CNV) is a phenomenon in which sections of the genome, ranging
from one kilo base pair (Kb) to several million base pairs (Mb), are repeated and the number …

Cattle populations arrived in Southern Africa almost 2000 years ago, brought by farming
communities migrating southwards. For centuries, cattle have been an integral component of …

Gir is one of the main cattle breeds raised in tropical South American countries. Strong
artificial selection through its domestication resulted in increased genetic differentiation …

Chinese indigenous sheep can be classified into three types based on tail morphology: fat-
tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep, of which the typical breeds are large-tailed Han …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are major forms of genetic variation with an increasing
importance in animal genomics. This study used the Illumina BovineSNP 50 K BeadChip to …

During the process of animal domestication, both natural and artificial selection cause
variation in allele frequencies among populations. Identifying genomic areas of selection in …

Copy number variation (CNV), which is characterized by large-scale losses or gains of DNA
fragments, contributes significantly to genetic and phenotypic variation. Assessing CNV …

Background Selection of cattle that are less sensitive to environmental variation in
unfavorable environments and more adapted to harsh conditions is of primary importance …

In goat breeds, the domestication followed by artificial selection for economically important
traits have shaped genetic variation within populations, leading to the fixation of specific …

Single nucleotide polymorphism arrays have created new possibilities for performing
genome-wide studies to detect genomic regions harboring sequence variants that affect …
