Microchromosomes are prevalent in nonmammalian vertebrates [PD Waters et al., Proc.
Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 118 (2021)], but a few of them are missing in bird genome assemblies …

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNA) have paved the way to new perspectives on the regulation of
gene expression, not only in biology and medicine, but also in associated fields and …

The functional annotation of livestock genomes is crucial for understanding the molecular
mechanisms that underpin complex traits of economic importance, adaptive evolution and …

Genotype data from dairy cattle selection programs have greatly facilitated GWAS to identify
variants related to economic traits. Results can enhance the accuracy of genomic prediction …

A cattle pangenome representation was created based on the genome sequences of 898
cattle representing 57 breeds. The pangenome identified 83 Mb of sequence not found in …

A comprehensive characterization of regulatory elements in the chicken genome across
tissues will have substantial impacts on both fundamental and applied research. Here, we …

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs) in individual genomes are major
determinants of complex traits, including adaptability to environmental variables. The …

Background Mastitis is a disease that incurs significant costs in the dairy industry. A
promising approach to mitigate its negative effects is to genetically improve the resistance of …

Background There is a need for functional genome-wide annotation of the protein-coding
genes to get a deeper understanding of mammalian biology. Here, a new annotation …
