Abstract excerpt
Cold climate shapes the genome of animals and drives them to carry sufficient genetic variations to adapt to changes in temperature. However, limited information is available about the genome-wide pattern of adaptations to cold environments in cattle. In the present study, we used 777K SNP genotyping (15 Chinese cattle breeds, 198 individuals) and whole genome resequencing data (54 cattle breeds of the world, 432...
