Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Comprehensive genomic resources offer insights into biological features, including traits/disease-related genetic loci. The current reference genome assembly for the domestic cat (Felis catus), Felis_Catus_9.0 (felCat9), derived from sequences of the Abyssinian cat, may inadequately represent the general cat population, limiting the extent of deducible genetic variations. OBJECTIVES: The goal was to...
