Genetics, selection, evolution : GSE 20140304
<h4>Background</h4>Signatures of selection are regions in the genome that have been preferentially increased in frequency and fixed in a population because of their functional importance in specific processes. These regions can be detected because of their lower genetic variability and specific regional linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns.<h4>Methods</h4>By comparing the differences in regional LD variation between dairy and beef cattle types, and between indicine and taurine subspecies, we aim ...[more]
