Genomic analyses identify distinct patterns of selection in domesticated pigs and Tibetan wild boars
We report the sequencing at 131× coverage, de novo assembly and analyses of the genome
of a female Tibetan wild boar. We also resequenced the whole genomes of 30 Tibetan wild …

Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European local pig breeds assessed with a high density SNP chip
Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to
advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability …

Whole-genome sequencing of the snub-nosed monkey provides insights into folivory and evolutionary history
Colobines are a unique group of Old World monkeys that principally eat leaves and seeds
rather than fruits and insects. We report the sequencing at 146× coverage, de novo …

The challenges and importance of structural variation detection in livestock
DM Bickhart, GE Liu - Frontiers in genetics, 2014 - frontiersin.org
Recent studies in humans and other model organisms have demonstrated that structural
variants (SVs) comprise a substantial proportion of variation among individuals of each …

Evolutionary dynamics of copy number variation in pig genomes in the context of adaptation and domestication
Background Copy number variable regions (CNVRs) can result in drastic phenotypic
differences and may therefore be subject to selection during domestication. Studying copy …

Building a sequence map of the pig pan-genome from multiple de novo assemblies and Hi-C data
Pigs were domesticated independently in the Near East and China, indicating that a single
reference genome from one individual is unable to represent the full spectrum of divergent …

Genome-wide association and pathway analysis of feed efficiency in pigs reveal candidate genes and pathways for residual feed intake
Residual feed intake (RFI) is a complex trait that is economically important for livestock
production; however, the genetic and biological mechanisms regulating RFI are largely …
