Homozygosity mapping reveals population history and trait architecture in self- incompatible pear (Pyrus spp.)

Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are successive homozygous segments of the genome where the two haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical-by-descent. A key focus of this project is to investigate ROH distribution patterns in the genomes of outbred fruit crops using pear as a study caseRuns of homozygosity (ROH) are successive homozygous segments of the genome where the two haplotypes inherited from the parents are identical-by-descent.
