Genomic Analysis Reveals Specific Patterns of Homozygosity and Heterozygosity in Inbred Pigs
The inbred strain of miniature pig is an ideal model for biomedical research due to its high level of homozygosity. In this study, we investigated genetic diversity, relatedness, homozygosity, and heterozygosity using the Porcine SNP60K BeadChip in both ...

History and Current Status of Haploidization in Carrot (Daucus carota L.)
The induction of haploid cell development into normal plants enables the production of doubled haploid lines, which are homozygous and can be used in breeding programs as an alternative to conventionally derived inbred lines.

THE HOMOZYGOSITY TEST OF NEUTRALITY [PDF]
ABSTRACT An earlier paper showed that the homozygosity (of a population or sample) was a good statistic for testing departures from selective neutrality in the direction of heterozygote advantage or disadvantage. It is here shown that homozygosity is also influenced by the presence of deleterious alleles and by other departures from ...

Genome-Wide Characterization of Selection Signatures and Runs of Homozygosity in Ugandan Goat Breeds
Both natural and artificial selection are among the main driving forces shaping genetic variation across the genome of livestock species. Selection typically leaves signatures in the genome, which are often characterized by high genetic differentiation ...

Runs of Homozygosity and Gene Identification in Pelibuey Sheep Using Genomic Data
The runs of homozygosity (ROHs), the inbreeding coefficient, and the effective population size (Ne) in Pelibuey sheep were analyzed in 24 Pelibuey ewes from two lambs at parturition and 24 ewes that gave birth to a single lamb using the Ilumina ...

Homozygosity indicators in canine MHC region of the Standard Poodle and Leonberger populations [PDF]
Dog breeds are the leading examples of artificial selection, with sometimes extreme changes between the wolf-like phenotypes and current breeds. This increased selection pressure manifest in increased homozygosity throughout the genome, including the ...
