Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are chromosomal stretches that in a diploid genome appear in
a homozygous state and display identical alleles at multiple contiguous loci. This study …

As the effects of global warming become increasingly complex and difficult to manage, the
conservation and sustainable use of locally adapted sheep breeds are gaining ground …

Simple Summary Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are commonly used to estimate inbreeding
coefficients and identify selection signatures in livestock population. The present study …

Homozygosity of long sequence genotypes are a result of parents transmitting identical
haplotypes, which can be used to estimate their auto-zygosity. Therefore, we used high …

Background Inbreeding depression can adversely affect traits related to fitness, reproduction
and productive performance. Although current research suggests that inbreeding levels are …
