Livestock plays a central role in sustaining human livelihood in South Asia. There are
numerous and distinct livestock species in South Asian countries. Several of them have …

Human concern about the status of genetic diversity in livestock breeds and their
conservation has increased, as intense selection and reduced population sizes in many …

The role of structurally dynamic genomic regions in speciation is poorly understood due to
challenges inherent in diploid genome assembly. Here we reconstructed the evolutionary …

Centromeres are epigenetically specified by the histone H3 variant CENP-A. Although
mammalian centromeres are typically associated with satellite DNA, we previously …

In different species, embryonic aneuploidies and genome-wide errors are a major cause of
developmental failure. The increasing number of equine embryos being produced …

The equid family contains only one single extant genus, Equus, including seven living
species grouped into horses on the one hand and zebras and asses on the other. In …

The Y chromosome is a valuable genetic marker for studying the origin and influence of
paternal lineages in populations. In this study, we conducted Y-chromosomal lineage …

Simple Summary Horse chromosomes have been studied for veterinary diagnostic purposes
for over half a century. The findings show that changes in the chromosome number or …

One of the primary aims of the Functional Annotation of ANimal Genomes (FAANG) initiative
is to characterize tissue-specific regulation within animal genomes. To this end, we used …

The Thoroughbred breed was formed by crossing Oriental horse breeds and British native
horses and is currently used in horseracing worldwide. In this study, we constructed a single …
