What is Identification of selection signatures in Capra hircus and Capra aegagrus in Iran about?

## Abstract Identification of selection signatures may provide a better understanding of domestication process and candidate genes contributing to this process. In this study, two populations of domestic and wild goats from Iran were analyzed to identify selection signatures. RSB, iHS, and XP‐EHH statistics were used in order to identify robust selection signatures in the goat genome. Genotype data of domestic and wild goats from the NextGen project was used. The data was related to 18 __Capra aegagrus__ (wild goat) and 20 __Capra hircus__ (domestic goat) from Iran. The iHS method indicated 675 and 441 selection signatures in __C. aegagrus__ and __C. hircus__, respectively. RSB and XP‐EHH methods showed about 370 and 447 selection signatures in __C. aegagrus__ and __C. hircus__, respectively. These selection signatures were mainly associated with milk production, fleece trait, mammary epithelial cells, reproduction, and immune system.
