What is Sheep Genetics for Nematode Resistance about?

This study investigates the genetic basis of resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep by analyzing divergent lines of Romney and Perendale breeds selectively bred for high and low faecal egg counts. Genome-wide SNP data revealed sixteen regions associated with nematode resistance, including candidate genes related to chitinase activity and cytokine response. The findings support the hypothesis that resistance is controlled by multiple loci with moderate to small effects, providing insights for futu
