Abstract excerpt
Background: Inter-species hybridization has been extensively used in breeding cervids to improve productive traits by hybrid vigor, but the genomic processes behind the process are not well studied. Methods: In this study, we investigated restriction-site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) to conduct a whole-genome analysis of Hua-Ma hybrid individuals (a cross of sika deer and Tianshan red deer). Results: A...
