Summary: Native Portuguese cattle breeds are a ?biodiversity deposit? resulting from genetic and environmental effects accumulated over the years. We assessed two cattle breeds representative of Portuguese native cattle (Barrosã - BAR and Brava de Lide ? BRA) aiming the evaluation of ROH across populations, identification of ROH islands and functional analysis of the identified genes. The pattern of ROH differed across breeds mainly from short to median range. Based on ROH islands analysis, three regions were observed to be shared by more than 35% of the individuals in the two breeds. Besides, gene networks highlighted biological associations based on genes found on ROH islands with biological processes related with reproductive traits (RBM19) and immune systems (DTX1) in BAR breed, and immune systems and adipogenesesprocesses (ZBTB16) in BRA breed.
