Yak domestication represents an important episode in the early human occupation of the
high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The precise timing of domestication is debated …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have offered in recent years new opportunities to
study genome variations. These studies have mostly focused on single nucleotide …

Over the last 30 years, Hanwoo has been selectively bred to improve economically
important traits. Hanwoo is currently the representative Korean native beef cattle breed, and …

Background Over the last few years, continuous development of high-throughput
sequencing platforms and sequence analysis tools has facilitated reliable identification and …

The water buffalo is among the most important livestock species of southern Asia,
contributing greatly to the ecosystem and rural livelihood of the region. The identification of …

Seed-based heuristics have proved to be efficient for studying similarity between genetic
databases with billions of base pairs. This paper focuses on algorithms and data structures …

Most often, genetic variation causing phenotypical changes is calculated exclusively upon
the occurrence of nonsynonymous variation. However, it has been increasingly more …

Cattle diverged during the Pleistocene into two subspecies, one in temperate and one in
tropical environments. Here we have used next generation sequencing of the indicine …

Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Genom-Re-Sequenzierung von Gründertieren verschiedener
Rinderpopulationen und die damit verbundene zuverlässige Aufdeckung der genomischen …

The genetic improvement in livestock can be achieved through, i) selection and/through, ii)
cross breeding. Conventional selection requires long time span and accurate performance …
