Abstract excerpt
Dareshouri, Arabian, and Akhal-Teke are 3 Middle Eastern horse breeds that have been selected for endurance and adaptation to harsh climates. Deciphering the genetic characteristics of these horses by tracing selection footprints and copy number of variations will be helpful in improving our understanding of equine breeds' development and adaptation. For this purpose, we sequenced the whole genome of 4 Dareshouri...
