Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on understanding the global historical and genetic relationships between Merino sheep and their derived breeds by genotyping 19 populations and analyzing additional data from 23 populations.
  • Several statistical tests confirmed that the genetic diversity in Merino breeds is influenced by their geographic origin and local admixture, particularly highlighting the impact of Australian, Rambouillet, and German strains.
  • The research identified 106 candidate genes under potential selection, including those related to immune response, growth, morphology, and reproductive traits, indicating the genetic adaptations of Merino sheep to different climates.

Article Synopsis
  • This study examined the genetic characteristics and selection signatures of two Russian native cattle breeds, Yaroslavl and Kholmogor, using high-density SNP genotyping and a variety of statistical analyses.
  • Researchers identified nine selection regions in Yaroslavl and six in Kholmogor, with some overlap with Holstein cattle but also discovered three unique selection sweeps in each breed.
  • The findings also included a list of candidate genes linked to these genomic regions, and the potential role of these genes in artificial selection related to the breeds' genetic evolution.
