Assembly of novel sequences for Chinese domestic pigs reveals new genes and regulatory variants providing new insights into their diversity.

Abstract excerpt

There is an increasing understanding that a reference genome representing an individual cannot capture all the gene repertoire of a species. Here, we conduct a population-scale missing sequences detection of Chinese domestic pigs using whole-genome sequencing data from 534 individuals. We identify 132.41 Mb of sequences absent in the reference assembly, including eight novel genes. In particular, the breeds...
