Livestock plays a central role in sustaining human livelihood in South Asia. There are
numerous and distinct livestock species in South Asian countries. Several of them have …

Half a century ago, a seminal article on the hitchhiking effect by Smith and Haigh
inaugurated the concept of the selection signature. Selective sweeps are characterised by …

In the present study, the population genomic data of different cattle breeds were explored to
decipher the genomic regions affected due to selective events and reflected in the …

The field of genetics has evolved a lot after the emergence of molecular and advanced
genomic technologies. The advent of Next Generation Sequencing, SNP genotyping …

The detection of selection signatures assists in understanding domestication, evolution, and
the identification of genomic regions related to adaptation and production traits in buffaloes …

The status of genetic diversity, adaptation to climate change or the identification of genes
associated with traits of interest in livestock populations has been a major concern for …

With the upsurge of crossbreeding in India, the admixture levels are highly unpredictable in
the composite breeds. Hence, in the present study, 72 Vrindavani animals were assessed …

Recently DNA-based genetic purity determination tools have gained popularity, especially,
in small ruminants like sheep. The objective of the present study was to select breed-specific …

Cattle breed identification is crucial for livestock research and sustainable food systems, and
advances in genomics and artificial intelligence present new opportunities to address these …

Meat quality data can only be obtained after slaughter when selection decisions about the
