Abstract excerpt
Hu sheep are renowned for their adaptation to high-temperature, humid environments and their high fecundity. Despite serving as the founder species for sheep breeding in China, the genetic mechanisms underlying these desirable traits and the breed's origin have remained unresolved. To address the longstanding challenges in understanding their adaptations and origins, comprehensive analyses utilizing genetic data...
