Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the genetic relationships and breed compositions of 13 sheep breeds, focusing on 11 Chinese indigenous breeds and 2 foreign ones, using whole genome sequencing data derived from SNPs and InDels.
- - Different breed identification strategies were evaluated, with the most effective being a combination of DFI_union for marker detection and KSR for breed assignment, achieving over 97.5% accuracy with the most informative markers.
- - The findings emphasize the importance of accurate breed identification for the conservation and sustainable use of indigenous sheep breeds, providing a model for broader applications in livestock genetic resource management.
