In bovines, artificial selection has produced a large number of breeds which differ in
production, environmental adaptation, and health characteristics. To investigate the genetic …

Genetic variation in Gir cattle (Bos indicus) has so far not been well characterized. In this
study, we used whole genome sequencing of three Gir bulls and a pooled sample from …

Abstract Background Indian cattle breeds (Bos indicus) are known for their remarkable
adaptability to hot and humid climates, higher nutritious quality of milk, better disease …

We investigated diverse genomic selections using high-density single nucleotide
polymorphism data of five distinct cattle breeds. Based on allele frequency differences, we …

Understanding the genetic diversity in Xiangxi cattle may facilitate our efforts toward further
breeding programs. Here we compared 23 Xiangxi cattle with 78 published genomes of 6 …

Background The crossbreeding of specialized beef cattle breeds with Chinese indigenous
cattle is a common method of genetic improvement. Xia'nan cattle, a crossbreed of Charolais …

Yunling cattle is a new breed of beef cattle bred in Yunnan Province, China. It is bred by
crossing the Brahman, the Murray Grey and the Yunnan Yellow cattle. Yunling cattle can …

Background In the early 20th century, Cuban farmers imported Charolais cattle (CHFR)
directly from France. These animals are now known as Chacuba (CHCU) and have become …

Further characterization of genetic structural variations should strongly focus on small and
endangered local breeds given their role in unraveling genes and structural variants …

Whole-genome sequencing provides a powerful tool to obtain more genetic variability that
could produce a range of benefits for cattle breeding industry. Nanyang (Bos indicus) and …
