A genome wide scan for signatures of selection in six South African cattle populations
South African (SA) indigenous and locally developed cattle breeds possess adaptive traits that are usually associated with tolerance to various diseases, extreme temperatures and humidity and to change in the availability of feed. These breeds are also adapted to low-input management system and have...
