Whole genome sequencing and structural variations provide insights into the body size traits of Hu sheep.
Article in Scientific data, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Hu sheep is an indigenous breed in China, renowned for its prolificacy. However, Hu sheep have smaller statures compared to other meat sheep breeds, necessitating improvement. Therefore, further research is required to explore the underlying molecular genetic mechanisms of body size traits in Hu sheep. In this study, whole genome sequencing was conducted on 300 Hu sheep with an average depth of 16.51X. A total of 9.53 T of high-quality sequencing data was generated. After quality controlled, Q30 range of clean reads was 86.76% to 95.46%, and GC range was 41.52% to 44.48%. Subsequently, we identified 23274312 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 64759 structural variations (SVs) through a series of bioinformatics analyses. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS), including SNP-GWAS and SV-GWAS, were performed in combination with five body size traits. Furthermore, domestication adaptation regions within the Hu sheep population were explored through selection signatures analysis. This dataset provides a valuable genetic resource for sheep breeding, and serves as a reference for the application of SVs in sheep economic traits.
