Genetic susceptibility to infectious disease in East African Shorthorn Zebu: A genome-wide analysis of the effect of heterozygosity and exotic introgression
Positive multi-locus heterozygosity-fitness correlations have been observed in a number of natural populations. They have been explained by the correlation between heterozygosity and inbreeding, and the negative effect of inbreeding on fitness (inbreeding depression). Exotic introgression in a local...
