Simple Summary Molecular cytogenetics, and particularly the use of fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH), has allowed deeper investigation of the chromosomes of domestic …

Simple Summary The genetic origins behind reproductive traits are still far from clear: this is
especially true in horses, where the lack of objective reproductive phenotypes (particularly in …

Background Crossbreeding is an important way to improve production beef cattle
performance. Pinan cattle is a new hybrid cattle obtained from crossing Piedmontese bulls …

Copy number variations (CNVs) have been demonstrated as crucial substrates for evolution,
adaptation and breed formation. Chinese indigenous cattle breeds exhibit a broad …

Genome-wide association studies based on SNP have been completed for multiple traits in
dairy cattle; however, copy number variants (CNV) could add genomic information that has …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are a major source of structural variation in mammalian
genomes. Here, we characterized the genome-wide CNV in 2059 sheep from 67 …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are important genomic structural variations and can give
rise to significant phenotypic diversity. Herein, we used high-density 600K SNP arrays to …

Simple Summary Climate change plays a major role in livestock production. Hence the
utilization of crossbreeding strategies allows for the improvement of animal production …

Copy number variations (CNVs) are crucial structural genomic variants affecting complex
traits in humans and livestock animals. The current study was designed to conduct a …

Simple Summary This study aimed to contribute to our knowledge of CNVs, a type of
genomic marker in equines, by producing, for the first time, a fine-scale characterization of …
