Whole-genome scanning for the litter size trait associated genes and SNPs under selection in dairy goat (Capra hircus)

Dairy goats are one of the most utilized domesticated animals in China. Here, we selected extreme populations based on differential fecundity in two Laoshan dairy goat populations. Utilizing deep sequencing we have generated 68.7 and 57.8 giga base of sequencing data, and identified 12,458,711 and 1...
