High‑resolution recombination landscape in Iranian native chicken ecotypes: Elevated hotspot density and candidate genes for heat and drought adaptation.
The recombination landscape is a key genomic feature that influences genetic diversity and evolutionary dynamics, yet it remains largely unexplored in native chicken populations adapted to harsh environmental conditions. This study, for the first time, mapped high‑resolution recombination events in Iranian indigenous c...
