Genomic Patterns of Homozygosity and Genetic Diversity in the Rhenish German Draught Horse
This study highlights how important it is to monitor genetic diversity in endangered populations with genomic data. The results of this study will help to develop breeding strategies to ensure the conservation of the German Rhenish draught horse population and show whether favorable alleles from the overrepresented candidate genes within ROH were transmitted to the next generation.
