Comparison of mtDNA control region among descendant breeds of the extinct Zaupel sheep revealed haplogroup C and D in Central Europe. [PDF]
This manuscript deals with significant questions of the common root of Zaupel sheep's descendant breeds and investigates these breeds based on mtDNA control region using a novel approach called founder sampling method. Genetic information confirmed the origin of the breeds known from the breed history separation of the three descendant breeds did not ...

Meta-analysis of genetic parameters for growth traits in meat, wool and dual-purpose sheep breeds in the world using a random-effects model. [PDF]
There is large variation in genetic parameters in literature for growth traits in sheep, so aggregation of different studies results by meta‐analysis can improve reliability of estimated parameters. A meta‐analysis with 221 articles was carried out. Decrease in Standard errors could indicate that aggregation of results of different studies improved ...
