Short summary
Genomic characteristics of desert Barki sheep reflected the number of genes associated with lamb and ewe performance in a number of locations. Significant effects of heat stress on Barki sheep were detectable in respiration rate and gas volume. Candidate genes associated with tolerance to heat stress are involved in multiple pathways for a variety of biochemical processes. Genetic studies encourage selection for better growth, maintaining medium-weight ewes  with adaptation to heat stress.
