Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the genetic mechanisms behind the phenotypic variation in domesticated sheep by sequencing the genomes of 100 sheep across 10 breeds and integrating this data with information from 225 additional sheep.
- Results show domesticated sheep formed a distinct genetic group, with Chinese indigenous breeds having a specific geographical distribution.
- Key findings identify selective genes linked to immune response, visual function, pigmentation, energy metabolism, and growth, revealing the genetic basis for breed characteristics and phenotypic changes during sheep domestication and improvement.
