Abstract excerpt
Compared to commercial sheep breeds, Tibetan sheep are exceptionally productive in high-altitude environments. Whole-genome sequencing can elucidate the genetic markers and candidate genes related to such economic traits, greatly accelerating the breeding progress. However, a lack of genome sequence data has hindered the functional gene dissection and genetic improvement of Tibetan sheep. This study presents...
