Abstract excerpt
Xinjiang Brown cattle is characterized by wide environmental adaptation from its female parent (Kazakh cattle) and good production performance from its male parent (Swiss Brown cattle). However, the genetic basis underlying these characteristics hasnotbeenexplored. Here we compared 50 genomes of Xinjiang Brown cattle to the genomes of other eight breeds worldwide to analyze patterns of genetic variation in the...
