Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Chinese indigenous goat breeds exhibit rich genetic diversity and a long history of domestication, endowing these native populations with superior traits in environmental adaptation, forage utilization, and disease resistance. The identification of selection signatures through comparative genomic analysis could facilitate the understanding of breed differentiation and enables the discovery of...
