The rich cattle genetic diversity in Africa has been supporting livelihoods for centuries, providing food and nutrition security, income, and socio-cultural values. Understanding the genetic architecture of African cattle is essential for conservation and sustainable breed improvement. This study assessed genome-wide diversity, population structure, admixture patterns, and gene flow in 44 cattle populations...
