Genomic diversity of two indigenous Croatian goat breeds

This study used genome-wide SNP data to characterise the Istrian and Croatian Coloured goats genetically. Population structure and conservation status were analysed using 11 Istrian and 33 Croatian Coloured goats and 506 additional animals belonging to 19 European goat breeds. Neighbour-net and admixture results show that the two breeds are unique and retain a great proportion of the ancestral genetic structure. Despite low Ne for Istrian goats, both breeds showed low levels of inbreeding (FROH~0.05). Considering these results, the Istrian goat is at high risk of extinction and should be carefully monitored.
