Analysis of ROH patterns in the Noriker horse breed reveals signatures of selection for coat color and body size.

abstract：:Gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) is an important marine fish in Mediterranean aquaculture. Sex determination by age and/or body weight is a critical life-history trait, the genetic basis for which is largely unknown in this sequential hermaphrodite species. Herein, we performed a partial genome scan to map quanti...
