Advances in Equine Genomics: Decoding the Genetic Architecture of Morphology, Performance, Behavior, and Adaptation.

Abstract excerpt

The genus Equus, encompassing horses, donkeys, and extinct relatives, has evolved over approximately 55 million years from small, multi-toed ancestors to the modern horse. Selective breeding has produced over 600 distinct horse breeds optimized for diverse traits such as size, conformation, performance, and adaptability. In the past two decades, rapid advances in equine genomics have significantly deepened our...
