Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mongolian cattle, a unique breed indigenous to China, represent valuable genetic resources and serve as important sources of meat and milk. However, there is a lack of high-quality genomes in cattle, which limits biological research and breeding improvement. FINDINGS: In this study, we conducted whole-genome sequencing on a Mongolian bull. This effort yielded a 3.1 Gb Mongolian cattle genome sequence,...
