Abstract excerpt
Sheep (Ovis aries), among the first domesticated species, are now globally widespread and exhibit remarkable adaptability to diverse environments. In this study, we perform whole-genome sequencing of 266 animals from 18 distinct Chinese sheep populations, each displaying unique phenotypes indicative of adaptation to varying environmental conditions. Integrating 131 environmental factors with single nucleotide...
