A comprehensive genomic characterization of Nellore cattle

The level of linkage disequilibrium estimated in the Nellore population supports the successful implementation of genomic selection in the Nellore breed. Moreover, the Ne estimated via genomic information was found to be large enough to maintain desirable levels of genetic diversity within the breed. Most ROHs identified in this study were created in more ancient generations. Moreover, significant SNPs identified via the GPSM method confirmed that genetic selection was effective in Nellore cattle, and genomic changes were observed.
