Abstract excerpt
Despite the significant phenotypic divergence between domestic ducks and their wild progenitors, the structural variants (SVs) underlying this differentiation remain largely unexplored due to the limitations of linear references in capturing genetic diversity across the genus Anas. Current pangenome efforts either lack base-level resolution or are constrained by genomic anchoring, hindering the exploration of...
