Runs of homozygosity in Swiss goats reveal genetic changes associated with domestication and modern selection
The domestication of goat (Capra hircus) started 11,000 years ago in the fertile crescent. Breed formation in the nineteenth century, establishment of herd books, and selection for specific traits resulted in 10 ... (Source: Genetics Selection Evolution)
