Abstract excerpt
Ladakhi cattle, native to the high-altitude region of Ladakh in northern India (ranging from 3,000 to 5,000 m above sea level), have evolved unique genetic adaptations to thrive in harsh environmental conditions, such as hypoxia, extreme cold, and low humidity. This study explored the genome of Ladakhi cattle to investigate genetic structure, selection signatures, and adaptive mechanisms. Whole genome sequencing...
