Abstract:Indigenous Iranian horse breeds were evolutionarily affected by natural and artificial selection in distinct phylogeographic clades which shaped their genomes in several unique ways. The principal aims of this study were to evaluate genetic diversity and genome-wide selection signatures in four indigenous Iranian horse breeds. We evaluated 169 horses from Caspian (n = 21), Turkmen (n = 29), Kurdish (n = 67) and Persian Arabian (n = 52) populations, using genome-wide genotyping data. The contemporary effective … Show more
