Journal ArticleDOI

Mats E. Pettersson,Christina Marie Rochus,Fan Han,Junfeng Chen,Jason Hill,Ola Wallerman,Guangyi Fan,Xiaoning Hong,Qiwu Xu,He Zhang,Shanshan Liu,Xin Liu,Leanne Haggerty,Toby Hunt,Fergal J. Martin,Paul Flicek,Ignas Bunikis,Arild Folkvord,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson,Leif Andersson +20 more
TL;DR: A chromosome-level genome assembly based on a hybrid approach combining a de novo Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) assembly with Hi-C-supported scaffolding is delivered, allowing for analysis of previously intractable large-scale structural variation and revealing hundreds of independent loci associated with ecological adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revealing the selection history of adaptive loci using genome-wide scans for selection: an example from domestic sheep

TL;DR: This study illustrates how dense genetic data in multiple populations allows the deciphering of evolutionary history of populations and of their adaptive mutations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Population structure of five native sheep breeds of Sweden estimated with high density SNP genotypes.
TL;DR: The analyses of the five Swedish breeds revealed that these breeds are five distinct breeds, while Gute and Gotland are more closely related to each other as seen in all analyses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation of genetic diversity in Gute sheep: pedigree and microsatellite analyses of an ancient Swedish breed.
TL;DR: Pedigree and microsatellite genotype estimations of inbreeding were consistent with a breeding program with the purpose of reducing inbreeding and showed that current breeding programs of the Swedish Gute sheep are consistent with efforts of keeping this breed viable.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mutations in ASIP and MC1R: dominant black and recessive black alleles segregate in native Swedish sheep populations.
Christina Marie Rochus,Christina Marie Rochus,Christina Marie Rochus,K. Westberg Sunesson,Elisabeth Jonas,Sofia Mikko,Anna Johansson +6 more
TL;DR: ASIP and MC1R, two genes with known roles in pigmentation, and their association with black coat colour are studied by sequencing the coding regions of ASIP in 149 animals andMC1R in 129 animals from seven native Swedish sheep breeds in individuals with black, white or grey fleece.
