Abstract excerpt
Donkey (Equus asinus) is an important livestock animal in China because of its draft and medicinal value. After a long period of natural and artificial selection, the variety and phenotype of donkeys have become abundant. We clarified the genetic and demographic characteristics of Chinese domestic donkeys and the selection pressures by analyzing 78 whole genomes from 12 breeds. According to population structure,...
