Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Indigenous pig breeds in China have accumulated significant genetic diversity due to regional selection pressures. Investigating the selection signatures of these populations helps to understand their adaptive evolution and contributes to genetic improvement programs. RESULTS: We collected whole-genome sequencing data from 133 individuals, including South China and North China indigenous pigs and...
