Genome-wide variation, candidate regions and genes associated with fat deposition and tail morphology in Ethiopian indigenous sheep
Variations in body weight and body fat distribution are associated with feed quality and quantity, thermoregulation and energy reserve. Ethiopia is characterised by distinct agro-ecologies and human ethnic farmer’s diversity of ancient origin which have impacted on the variation of its livestock spe...
