Genome-Wide Runs of Homozygosity Revealed Selection Signatures in Bos indicus

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Genome-wide runs of homozygosity (ROH) are suitable for understanding population history, calculating genomic inbreeding, deciphering genetic architecture of complex traits and diseases as well as identifying genes linked with agro-economic traits ...

Locating a novel autosomal recessive genetic variant in the cattle glucokinase gene using only WGS data from three cases and six carriers

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
New Mendelian genetic conditions, which adversely affect livestock, arise all the time. To manage them effectively, some methods need to be devised that are quick and accurate.

Comparative evaluation of genomic inbreeding parameters in seven commercial and autochthonous pig breeds

Animal, 2020
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping tools, which can analyse thousands of SNPs covering the whole genome, have opened new opportunities to estimate the inbreeding level of animals directly using genome information.

Population Differentiation and Polygenic Selection in the Finnish Ayrshire Cows Selected on Genomic Information

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 6, Page 774-783, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The Finnish Ayrshire cattle belong to the Nordic Red breeds. The basis of selection in Nordic Red breeds shifted from traditional pedigree‐based breeding values to genomic breeding values between 2011 and 2014. Joint genetic evaluation and admixture among the Nordic Red breeds have led to the formation of a composite Nordic Red population ...

Seascape Genomics Uncovers Weak Signs of Local Adaptation Despite Bottleneck Events, High Inbreeding and Low Heterozygosity in the Vulnerable Smooth Hammerhead Shark (Sphyrna zygaena)

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The smooth hammerhead shark (Sphyrna zygaena) is a highly migratory pelagic predator classified as Vulnerable due to overexploitation and rapid climate change. However, its genomic diversity, connectivity patterns and demographic history remain poorly understood.

Unravelling the Genetic Structure of Local and Mainstream Red‐Pied Cattle Breeds Using Genomics and Extended Pedigree Analysis

Journal of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Volume 143, Issue 5, Page 705-718, September 2026.
ABSTRACT During the last decade, there has been a growing interest for local and endangered breeds as they are often seen as more resilient and healthier than mainstream breeds. They can also provide high added‐value products like meat or dairy products.

Runs of Homozygosity as Footprints of Selection in the Norik of Muran Horse Genome

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2019
The aim of this study was to analyse the genome-wide distribution of runs of homozygosity (ROH) segments in the genome of Norik of Muran horse and to identify the regions under strong selection pressure. Overall, 25 animals genotyped by the GGP Equine70k

Characterization of Lipizzan Horse Population From Lipica Stud Using Molecular and Pedigree Data

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In this study, we analysed genetic diversity, population structure and inbreeding in the Lipica Stud Farm population by integrating pedigree records, microsatellite (STR) and genome‐wide SNP data generated using the GGP Equine 70K BeadChip. The dataset comprised 233 horses from the Lipica Stud Farm, which served as the reference population for

Updating the RZooRoH Package for the Analysis of Inbreeding, Identity‐By‐Descent and Relatedness From Genomic Data

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 6, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The RZooRoH R package was implemented to characterize individual inbreeding levels. It identifies DNA segments inherited twice from a common ancestor through different paths, which are known as homozygous‐by‐descent (HBD) segments. The package accepts different data formats and provides multiple outputs: HBD segments, inbreeding rates and ...
