Abstract Telomere-to-telomere (T2T) assemblies reveal new insights into the structure and
function of the previously 'invisible'parts of the genome and allow comparative analyses of …

This review describes the formation, structure, and function of bony compartments in antlers,
horns, ossicones, osteoderm and the os penis/os clitoris (collectively referred to herein as …

Ancient genomes provide a tool to investigate the genetic basis of adaptations in extinct
organisms. However, the identification of species-specific fixed genetic variants requires the …

Native cattle breeds represent an important cultural heritage. They are a reservoir of genetic
variation useful for properly responding to agriculture needs in the light of ongoing climate …

Abstract Ruminant Genome Database (RGD; http://animal. nwsuaf. edu. cn/RGD) provides
visualization and analysis tools for ruminant comparative genomics and functional …

Summary The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) harbors hundreds of species well adapted to its
extreme conditions, including its low-oxygen (hypoxic) atmosphere. Here, we show that the …

Reindeer are semi-domesticated ruminants that have adapted to the challenging northern
Eurasian environment characterized by long winters and marked annual fluctuations in …

Regular environmental light–dark (LD) cycle-regulated period circadian clock 2 (Per2) gene
expression is essential for circadian oscillation, nutrient metabolism, and intestinal …

Nearly all organisms evolved endogenous self-sustained timekeeping mechanisms to track
and anticipate cyclic changes in the environment. Circadian clocks, with a periodicity of …

Dental calculus, the calcified form of the mammalian oral microbial plaque biofilm, is a rich
source of oral microbiome, host, and dietary biomolecules and is well preserved in museum …
