Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hanwoo cattle, a native Korean breed, display diverse coat colors, with White Hanwoo being extremely rare. Understanding the genetic basis of white coat color is essential for preserving genetic diversity and uncovering pigmentation mechanisms. This study aims to explore genetic differences between White and Brown Hanwoo and identify coat color-associated variants through genome-wide association...
