Abstract excerpt
Copy number variations (CNVs) are an important source of structural genomic variation and contribute to phenotypic diversity in cattle, including traits related to production, reproduction, and adaptation. In this study, we performed a genome-wide characterization of copy number variation regions (CNVRs) in Asian zebu cattle representing eight indigenous draught breeds traditionally used for ploughing, wet-field...
