Runs of homozygosity in Italian Holstein bulls: a permutation approach and time-based mapping of the genomic regions potentially under selection
The application of permutation to a high-density (HD) SNP chip data enabled the identification of genomic regions with high levels of homozygosity in Italian Holstein bulls and revealed associations between ROH occurrence and economically important traits in the studied population.
