| genome-wide snp analysis unveils genetic structure and phylogeographic history of snow sheep (ovis nivicola) populations inhabiting the verkhoyansk mountains and momsky ridge (northeastern siberia). | insights into the genetic characteristics of a species provide important information for wildlife conservation programs. here, we used the ovinesnp50 beadchip developed for domestic sheep to examine population structure and evaluate genetic diversity of snow sheep (ovis nivicola) inhabiting verkhoyansk range and momsky ridge. a total of 1,121 polymorphic snps were used to test 80 specimens representing five populations, including four populations of the verkhoyansk mountain chain: kharaulakh rid ... | 2018 | 30250679 |
