Abstract excerpt
Livestock reference genomes have transformed the discovery of variants associated with production, reproduction, health, and environmental adaptation. Nevertheless, a single linear reference represents only one mosaic haplotype and incompletely captures sequence diversity within a species, particularly structural variants, copy-number changes, repeat-rich regions, and breed-specific sequences. Pangenomes address...
