Genetic diversity is the foundation for selection to act upon a population: without diversity, evolution can not occur and species can not adapt to changing environments. In this thesis, I provide an in-depth analysis of the genome-wide patterns of diversity in local chicken breeds of small effective population size. Si… Show more
