Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Most SV studies in livestock rely on short-read sequencing, posing challenges in accurately characterizing large genomic variants due to their limited read length. OBJECTIVES: Our goal is to reveal structural variation and novel sequences specific to Holstein and Jersey cattle breeds using long-read and pan-genome analyses. METHODS: We sequenced 20 Holsteins and 8 Jersey cattle using PacBio HiFi to...
