Runs of homozygosity: windows into population history and trait architecture

FC Ceballos, PK Joshi, DW Clark, M Ramsay… - Nature Reviews …, 2018 - nature.com
Long runs of homozygosity (ROH) arise when identical haplotypes are inherited from each
parent and thus a long tract of genotypes is homozygous. Cousin marriage or inbreeding …

BCFtools/RoH: a hidden Markov model approach for detecting autozygosity from next-generation sequencing data

V Narasimhan, P Danecek, A Scally, Y Xue… - …, 2016 - academic.oup.com
Runs of homozygosity (RoHs) are genomic stretches of a diploid genome that show identical
alleles on both chromosomes. Longer RoHs are unlikely to have arisen by chance but are …

Genomic and archaeological evidence suggest a dual origin of domestic dogs

LAF Frantz, VE Mullin, M Pionnier-Capitan… - Science, 2016 - science.org
The geographic and temporal origins of dogs remain controversial. We generated genetic

How to study runs of homozygosity using PLINK? A guide for analyzing medium density SNP data in livestock and pet species

R Meyermans, W Gorssen, N Buys, S Janssens - BMC genomics, 2020 - Springer
Background PLINK is probably the most used program for analyzing SNP genotypes and
runs of homozygosity (ROH), both in human and in animal populations. The last decade …

A high-coverage genome sequence from an archaic Denisovan individual

M Meyer, M Kircher, MT Gansauge, H Li, F Racimo… - Science, 2012 - science.org
We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-

Analysis of runs of homozygosity and their relationship with inbreeding in five cattle breeds farmed in Italy

G Marras, G Gaspa, S Sorbolini, C Dimauro… - Animal …, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Increased inbreeding is an inevitable consequence of selection in livestock populations. The
analysis of high‐density single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) facilitates the identification …

Estimating autozygosity from high-throughput information: effects of SNP density and genoty** errors

M Ferenčaković, J Sölkner, I Curik - Genetics Selection Evolution, 2013 - Springer
Background Runs of homozygosity are long, uninterrupted stretches of homozygous
genotypes that enable reliable estimation of levels of inbreeding (ie, autozygosity) based on …
