Abstract
The discovery of SNPs was performed using animals from eight European sheep breeds.
Eleven SNPs were further characterized using about 1700 sheep belonging to 57 breeds. A
method for the identification of loci that were likely subject to selection was applied; three of
the 11 SNPs lying outside the 95% confidence region of the conditional joint distribution of
FST and mean heterozygosity were identified as outliers.
