Genome-Wide Scans Reveal Multiple Selection Sweep Regions in Indigenous Sheep (Ovis aries) from a Hot Arid Tropical Environment
Animals living in extreme environments demonstrate the adaptive resiliency of species to diverse ecosystems. This research suggests that the possible selection pressures shaping the genome architecture of the study populations ...
Multiple genomic signatures of selection in goats and sheep indigenous to a hot arid environment
Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse environments and production systems.
Natural and artificial selection have shaped the variation in the two species, but natural selection ...
Genomewide SNP Analysis of Small Ruminant Tolerance to Grazing Stress under Arid Desert
Desert dwelling animals are exposed to complex biophysical stressors including heat, physical exhaustion, solar radiation, and unavailability of feed and water, which can cumulatively be referred to as grazing stress (GS). ...
Genetic diversity and structure of goats within an early livestock dispersal area in Eastern North Africa
In this study we genotyped 14 microsatellites to assess genetic diversity, population stratification and demographic dynamics using Egyptian local goats (Zaraibi, Baladi, Saidi and Barki) and the Shami (Damascus) goat from ...
