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 ...
Intra-population SNP analysis identifies signatures for grazing stress tolerance in Egyptian local goats
The need to support agricultural industries and human livelihoods in dryland environments using adapted livestock is becoming an unavoidable priority as prospects of global warming become even more evident. Here, using the ...
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). ...
Genome-wide structure and dynamics of Nubian goats from Northeast Africa
The Nubian goat breed-group includes the Algerian Mzabite, Egyptian Zaraibi and Nubian goats found in Ethiopia, Sudan and Eritrea, and is one of the ancestral founders of the Anglo-Nubian. Whether the breed-group comprises ...
