Categories: Normal phene

Mendelian trait/disorder: unknown

Considered a defect: no

Mapping: Cheng et al. (2023) analysed “whole-genome sequencing individuals of 1,098 domestic sheep from 154 breeds, and 69 wild sheep from seven Ovis species. … … several introgressed haplotypes contributed to the morphological differentiations across sheep breeds … .Our results reveal that introgression events from wild Ovis species contributed to the high rate of morphological differentiation in sheep breeds, but also to individual variation within breeds. We propose that long divergent haplotypes are a ubiquitous source of phenotypic variation that allows adaptation to a variable environment, and that these remain intact in the receiving population probably due to reduced recombination.”
