Signatures of selection detected from whole‐genome sequencing indicate that the small body size in dwarf rabbit breeds is caused by polygenic effects with a few major loci
Early genetic studies have suggested that body size in rabbits can be considered a quantitative trait. Several rabbit breeds can be distinguished based on body size, including a few dwarf breeds diff...
