Background Sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated. They are raised all over
the world and produce a major scale of animal-based protein for human consumption and …

Structural variations (SVs) are a major contributor to genetic diversity and phenotypic variations,
but their prevalence and functions in domestic animals are largely unexplored. Here we …

During the process of animal domestication, both natural and artificial selection cause
variation in allele frequencies among populations. Identifying genomic areas of selection in …

Contents Ovulation rate and prolificacy are the most important reproductive traits that have
major impact on the efficiency of lamb meat production. Here, we compared the whole …

Background In the sheep breeding industry, heat stress caused by the general increase in
global temperature has become a significant issue, having both direct and indirect effects on …

Objective The data provided herein represent the whole-genome sequencing data
associated with three sheep breeds of Iranian native breeds. Sheep are the first domesticated …

Structural variations (SVs) are a major contributor of genetic diversity and phenotypic
variations, however their prevalence and functions in domestic animals are largely unexplored. …

Sighthounds, a distinctive group of hounds comprising numerous breeds, have their origins
rooted in ancient artificial selection of dogs. In this study, we performed genome sequencing …

Background Advances in genome technology have simplified a new comprehension of the
genetic and historical processes crucial to rapid phenotypic evolution under domestication. …

The effect of dietary dried citrus pulp (DCP), with or without soybean oil (SO), on nutrient
