Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Ethiopian Sheep Populations Revealed by High-Density SNP Markers

Sheep in Ethiopia are adapted to a wide range of environments, including extreme habitats. Elucidating their genetic diversity is critical for improving breeding strategies and mapping quantitative trait loci associated with productivity. To this end, the present study investigated the genetic diver...
