Domestic yaks (Bos grunniens) provide meat and other necessities for Tibetans living at
high altitude on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and in adjacent regions. Comparison between
yak and the closely related low-altitude cattle (Bos taurus) is informative in studying animal
adaptation to high altitude. Here, we present the draft genome sequence of a female
domestic yak generated using Illumina-based technology at 65-fold coverage. Genomic
comparisons between yak and cattle identify an expansion in yak of gene families related to …
