Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the genetic makeup of Orenburg goats using SNP data from modern and historical samples, revealing that the genetic characteristics from older populations have persisted in current goats.
- Findings indicated low inbreeding rates and maintained genetic diversity, providing a basis for selective breeding and potential conservation strategies through gamete preservation.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the impact of evolutionary and environmental factors on the genomes of various poultry breeds, particularly in relation to cold tolerance and performance traits.
- Using a specialized SNP chip, researchers genotyped four different chicken breeds and identified genomic regions indicative of selection for cold adaptation through multiple analysis methods.
- The study highlights several key candidate genes linked to cold tolerance and suggests that both genetic and epigenetic factors may play roles in how these breeds adapt to harsh climates, pointing to the need for more research on these mechanisms.
Comparison of genomic footprints in chicken breeds with different selection history is a powerful tool in elucidating genomic regions that have been targeted by recent and more ancient selection. In the present work, we aimed at examining and comparing the trajectories of artificial selection in the genomes of the native egg-type Russian White (RW) and meat-type White Cornish (WC) breeds. Combining three different statistics (top 0.
