Abstract excerpt
The reference genome plays a crucial role in uncovering genomic variations, which increase our understanding of the molecular mechanisms influencing biological traits. However, most of the sheep reference genomes derive from a single individual, which couldn't adequately represent the genetic diversity of sheep. The map-to-pan strategy was used to construct the sheep pan-genome based on 801 samples with short...
