| Nature Verified
Abstract Background: Native Anatolian goat breeds are genetic resources shaped by traditional management, selection, and adaptation to diverse environments. Objectives: This study aimed to identify selection signatures in five goat breeds raised in Türkiye: Ankara, Damascus, Honamli, Kil, and Kilis. Methods: A total of 192 goats were genotyped using the Axiom Goat Genotyping Array containing 59,795 SNP markers.
