Abstract excerpt

As one of the most obvious phenotypic traits, the coat color of sheep is an ideal model to study the genetic mechanisms underlying coat color varieties of mammals. One distinguishable coat color is the black-headed type, such as the famous black-headed Dorper sheep from Africa and Bayinbuluke sheep from Asia. In this study, we compared the genome sequences of black-headed and all-white sheep to identify causative...
