Runs of homozygosity provide a genome landscape picture of inbreeding and genet...
Schiavo, G.; Bovo, S.; Muñoz, M.; Ribani, A.; Alves, E.; Araújo, Pedro Araújo; Bozzi, R.; Candek-Potokar, M.; Charneca, R.; Fernandez, A. I.; Gallo, M.ROHs are long stretches of DNA homozygous at each polymorphic position. The proportion of genome covered by ROHs and their length are indicators of the level and origin of inbreeding. Frequent common ROHs within the same population define ROH islands and indicate hotspots of selection. In this work, we investigated ROHs in a total of 1131 pigs from 20 European local pig breeds and in three cosmopolitan breeds, ...

Genomic diversity, linkage disequilibrium and selection signatures in European ...
Muñoz, M.; Bozzi, R.; Garcia-Casco, J.; Núñez, Y.; Ribani, A.; Franci, O.; Garcia, F.; Skrlep, M.; Schiavo, G.; Bovo, S.; Utzeri, V.J.; Charneca, R.Genetic characterization of local breeds is essential to preserve their genomic variability, to advance conservation policies and to contribute to their promotion and sustainability. Genomic diversity of twenty European local pig breeds and a small sample of Spanish wild pigs was assessed using high density SNP chips. A total of 992 DNA samples were analyzed with the GeneSeek Genomic Profiler (GGP) 70 K HD porc...
Diversity across major and candidate genes in European local pig breeds
Muñoz, M.; Bozzi, R.; García, F.; Núñez, Y.; Geraci, C.; Crovetti, J.; García-Casco, J.; Alves, E.; Skrlep, M.; Charneca, R.; Martins, J.M.The aim of this work was to analyse the distribution of causal and candidate mutations associated to relevant productive traits in twenty local European pig breeds. Also, the potential of the SNP panel employed for elucidating the genetic structure and relationships among breeds was evaluated. Most relevant genes and mutations associated with pig morphological, productive, meat quality, reproductive and disease...
