Multi-tool copy number detection highlights common body size-associated variants in miniature pig breeds from different geographical regions
This investigation of the CNV landscape of minipigs underlines the impact of selective breeding on structural variants and its role in the development of specific breed phenotypes across geographical areas. The multi-tool approach provides a valuable resource for future studies on the effects of artificial selection on livestock genomes.
