Abstract excerpt
Through natural and artificial selection, goats develop distinct hair phenotypes driven by genomic variations, such as structural variations (SVs). The fatty acid desaturase (FADS) family plays an important role in hair follicle (HF) growth, yet its molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we construct a goat graph-based pangenome containing 99,792 non-redundant presence-absence variations (PAVs) from...
