Abstract Riverine Buffaloes, especially the Murrah breed because of their adaptability to
harsh climatic conditions, is farmed in many countries to convert low-quality feed into …

Qaidam cattle (CDM) are indigenous breed inhabiting Northwest China. In the present study,
we newly sequenced 20 Qaidam cattle to investigate the copy number variants (CNVs) …

Recently, Coiled-coil serine-rich protein 1 (CCSER1) gene is reported to be related to
economic traits in livestock, and become a hotspot. In our study, we detected CCSER1 gene …

Copy number variation (CNV), an important source of genomic structural variation, can
disturb genetic structure, dosage, regulation and expression, and is associated with …

Meat quality is an economically important trait for global food production. Copy number
variations (CNVs) have been previously implicated in elucidating the genetic basis of …
