Reproduction is an important trait in sheep breeding as well as in other livestock. However,
despite its importance the genetic mechanisms of litter size in domestic sheep (Ovis aries) …

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 …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are important and widely distributed in
the genome. CNV detection opens a new avenue for exploring genes associated with …

This study aimed to evaluate the impact of copy number variants (CNV) on 13 reproduction
and 12 disease traits in Holstein cattle. Intensity signal files containing log R ratio and B …

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 …

Abstract Background Copy Number Variations (CNVs) are gain or loss of DNA segments
that are known to play a role in shaping a wide range of phenotypes. In this study, we used …

Background Copy number variation (CNV) is an important type of genetic variation
contributing to phenotypic differences among mammals and may serve as an alternative …

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 variation (CNV) is a major source of genomic structural variation. The aim of
this study was to detect genomic CNV regions (CNVR) in Valle del Belice dairy sheep …

Abstract Background Copy number variations (CNVs) are structural variants consisting of
large-scale insertions and deletions of genomic fragments. Exploring CNVs and estimating …
