Genomic selection analysis of morphological and adaptation traits in Chinese indigenous dog breeds.

ABSTRACT: The significant morphological differences and abundant germplasm resources of Chinese indigenous dog breeds can be attributed to the diverse geographical environment, including plateaus, mountains, and a long history of raising dogs. The combination of both natural and artificial selection during the past several thousand years has led to hundreds of dog breeds with distinct morphological traits and environmental adaptations. China is one of the earliest countries to domesticate dogs and there are more than 50 ancient indigenous dog breeds. In this study, the run of homozygosity (ROH) and proportion of the autosomal genome covered by ROHs (F_ROH) were calculated for 10 dog breeds that are the most representative Chinese indigenous dogs based on 170K SNP microarray.
