Deciphering genetic diversity and selection footprints in Rathi cattle through ddRAD-based genome-wide analysis

Genome-Wide Characterization of Genetic Diversity and Population Structure in a Kazakhstani Two-Row Spring Barley Breeding Panel

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a major cereal in Kazakhstan, where diverse breeding material supports crop improvement. We characterized 86 two-row spring barley accessions from six breeding organizations using the Illumina Infinium 50K Barley SNP Array. Analysis of 29,920 high-quality SNPs revealed moderate diversity...

Genome-Wide Resequencing Reveals Genetic Diversity and Selection Signatures in Two Indigenous Goat Populations From Xizang.

Zhangmu goats and Chentang black goats are valuable local goat genetic resources in Shigatse, Xizang. Due to long-term geographic isolation and small population size, their genetic diversity and adaptive genetic basis remain poorly understood. In this study, whole-genome resequencing was performed on 30 Zhangmu goats a...

Analysis of genetic structure and genetic diversity in Diannan small-ear pig.

First breed-pool whole genome sequencing of egyptian sheep: a comprehensive genomic atlas revealing diversity and candidate genes for production and adaptation

This research provides the first extensive breed‑pool whole‑genome sequencing (WGS) analysis across five Egyptian sheep populations, establishing a genomic atlas for the genetic architecture of production and adaptation in Egyptian sheep, providing a baseline for future genetic and conservation strategies.

Identifying selection signatures associated with production traits in Matou goats using whole-genome sequencing

Abstract Investigating the genetic attributes of indigenous goat breeds is crucial for their conservation and breeding. The Matou goat, a valued native breed of Southern China, is characterized by high meat quality and reproductive efficiency, representing an important genetic resource for livestock production. Its gen...

Unravelling the genetic structure and genetic relationships of indigenous Greek sheep breeds using SNP markers

Indigenous sheep of Greece represent important genetic resources shaped by long-term adaptation to diverse environments. However, many populations face demographic decline, genetic erosion, and their genomic diversity remains inadequately characterized. This study presents a comprehensive genome-wide analysis of both r...
