Vertebrate pigmentation patterns are amongst the best characterised model systems for
studying the genetic basis of adaptive evolution. The wealth of available data on the genetic …

Simple Summary Recent advancements in high-throughput technologies like whole-
genome sequencing, genome-wide association study (GWAS), gene expression profiling …

The identification of candidate genes related to pigmentation and under selective sweep
provides insights into the genetic basis of pigmentation and the evolutionary forces that have …

Identifying the genetic basis of repeatedly evolved traits provides a way to reconstruct their
evolutionary history and ultimately investigate the predictability of evolution. Here, we focus …

Abstract Background Nellore cattle (Bos indicus) are well-known for their adaptation to warm
and humid environments. Hair length and coat color may impact heat tolerance. The Nellore …

Cattle are an important livestock species, and mapping the genomic architecture of
agriculturally relevant traits such as disease susceptibility is a major challenge in the bovine …

Long-read sequencing (LRS) facilitates both the genome assembly and the discovery of
structural variants (SVs). Here, we built a graph-based pig pangenome by incorporating 11 …

Transposable elements (TEs) initially attracted attention because they comprise a major
portion of the genomic sequences in plants and animals. TEs may jump around the genome …

Structural variations (SVs) are a major source of domestication and improvement traits. We
present the first duck pan‐genome constructed using five genome assemblies capturing∼ …

Domestication and artificial selection during production-oriented breeding have greatly
shaped the level of genomic variability in sheep. However, the genetic variation associated …
