The domestication of Emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae) began in the 1970s, but their productive characteristics have not undergone significant genetic enhancement. This study investigated the inbreeding and genetic diversity of 50 emus from various farms in Japan using Double digest restriction-site associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-seq) markers. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) calling revealed 1,71,975 high-quality SNPs while runs of homozygosity (ROH) analysis identified 1,843 homozygous segments, with an average of 36.
