Genome-Wide Scan for Runs of Homozygosity Identifies Candidate Genes in Three Pig Breeds

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous homozygous genotype segments in the genome that are present in an individual since the identical haplotypes are inherited from each parent. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and distribution of ROH in the genomes of Landrace, Songliao bl...
