Genome-wide comparative analyses for selection signatures indicate candidate genes for between-breed variability in copper accretion in sheep

The problem of copper (Cu) intoxication and deficiency continues to impact economic gains and animal welfare in sheep husbandry. This study investigated the ovine genome for regions and potential genes under selection for Cu accretion between sheep breeds. For this, we compared ovine single nucleoti...
