The climatic and genetic heritage of Italian goat breeds with genomic SNP data

Abstract Local adaptation of animals to the environment can abruptly become a burden when faced with rapid climatic changes such as those foreseen for the Italian peninsula over the next 70 years. Our study investigates the genetic structure of the Italian goat populations and links it with the envi...
