Whole-genome sequencing of cryopreserved resources from french large white pigs at two distinct sampling times reveals strong signatures of convergent and divergent selection between the dam and sire lines

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

The use of nextgeneration sequencing (NGS) data narrows the size of detected regions, e_g below 100 kb (median size). Several other genomic scans for selection based on NGS data have been published with regard to livestock species, see e_g_[3, 4] in pigs. This refined characterization of the selection process at candidate regions would enable the authors to take advantage of external knowledge concerning the selection constraints applied on populations during a given period of their history, which are often well documented in livestock species, such that it would be possible to more precisely . . .
