| Abstract: Runs of homozygosity (ROHs) are long stretches of homozygous genomic segments, identifiable by molecular markers, which can provide genomic information for accurate estimates to characterize populations, determine evolutionary history and demographic information, estimate levels of consanguinity, and identify selection signatures in production animals. This review paper aims to perform a survey of the works on the efficiency of ROHs for these purposes. Factors such as genetic drift, natural or artificial selection, founder effect, and effective population size directly influence the size and distribution of ROHs along the genome. Individually, genome estimates of consanguinity based on ROHs can be obtained using the FROH index, which is generally... |

| ABSTRACT Inbreeding depression, reduction in performance of quantitative traits, including reproduction and survival, caused by inbreeding, is a well-known phenomenon observed in almost all experimental, domesticated, and natural populations. In spite of its importance to the fate of a small population and numerous research performed in the last century, the genetic basis of inbreeding depression is still unclear. Recent fast development of molecular techniques has enabled estimation of a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH), which reflects realized autozygosity and can be further partitioned to chromosomes and chromosomal segments. In this review, we first describe classical approach used in the estimation of inbreeding in livestock populations, followed... |
