Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Guanling cattle is a vital livestock resource in Guizhou Province, China. Characterizing their genetic diversity provides a foundation for developing effective breeding and conservation strategies. This study employed whole-genome sequencing to analyse the population genetic structure and adaptive evolution of Guanling cattle. RESULTS: The results revealed that Guanling cattle are hybrids of East...
