Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Arabian horse is a culturally and historically influential breed that has contributed to the development of many modern horse populations. However, genomic resources for this breed remain limited, particularly population-level allele frequency datasets that support studies of genetic diversity, selection, and disease. The aim of this study was to generate a comprehensive allele frequency database...
