Abstract excerpt
Bos indicus cattle breeds have been naturally selected for thousands of years for disease resistance and thermo-tolerance. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying these specific inherited characteristics must be elucidated. Hence, in this study, a whole-genome comparative analysis of the Bos indicus cattle breeds Kangayam, Tharparkar, Sahiwal, Red Sindhi, and Hariana of the Indian subcontinent was conducted....
