Genome-Wide Association Study Using Individual Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Haplotypes for Erythrocyte Traits in Alpine Merino Sheep

Genome-Wide Association Study Using Individual Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms and Haplotypes for Erythrocyte Traits in Alpine Merino Sheep

Adaptation to high-altitude hypoxia is essential for domestic animals, such as yak, Tibetan chicken, and Tibetan sheep, living on high plateaus, as it ensures efficient oxygen absorption and utilization. Red blood cells are the primary medium for transporting oxygen in the blood. However, little is...
