Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lanping black-boned sheep (LPB) represent a distinctive mammalian species characterized by hyperpigmentation, resulting in black bone and muscle features, in contrast to their conventional counterparts exhibiting red muscle and white bone. The genetic basis underlying LPB hyperpigmentation has remained enigmatic. METHODS: In this study, we conducted whole-genome sequencing of 100 LPB and 50 Lanping...
