Genomewide scans for natural selection (GWSS) have become increasingly common over
the last 15 years due to increased availability of genome‐scale genetic data. Here, we report …

Deserts are among the harshest environments on Earth. The multiple ages of different
deserts and their global distribution provide a unique opportunity to study repeated …

Understanding the genetic changes underlying phenotypic variation in sheep (Ovis aries)
may facilitate our efforts towards further improvement. Here, we report the deep …

Domestic sheep and their wild relatives harbor substantial genetic variants that can form the
backbone of molecular breeding, but their genome landscapes remain understudied. Here …

Global climate change has a significant effect on extreme environments and a profound
influence on species survival. However, little is known of the genome-wide pattern of …

Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse
environments and production systems. Natural and artificial selection have shaped the …

Abstract Background The domestic sheep (Ovis aries) is an important agricultural species
raised for meat, wool, and milk across the world. A high-quality reference genome for this …

Studying the genetic signatures of climate-driven selection can produce insights into local
adaptation and the potential impacts of climate change on populations. The honey bee (Apis …

How animals, particularly livestock, adapt to various climates and environments over short
evolutionary time is of fundamental biological interest. Further, understanding the genetic …

Background Because very large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are
now available throughout the genome, they are particularly suitable for the detection of …
