Until recently, the construction of a reference genome was performed using Sanger sequencing
alone. The emergence of next‐generation sequencing platforms now means reference …

Sequence variation present within the mitochondrial genome was used to investigate genetic
diversity within sheep breeds from Asia and Europe. Comparison of 2027 bp of sequence …

The domestic pig originates from the Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa). We have sequenced
mitochondrial DNA and nuclear genes from wild and domestic pigs from Asia and Europe. …

Through their domestication and subsequent selection, sheep have been adapted to thrive
in a diverse range of environments. To characterise the genetic consequence of both …

We report the ∼2.66-Gb genome sequence of a female Yunnan black goat. The sequence
was obtained by combining short-read sequencing data and optical mapping data from a high…

Sheep (Ovis aries) are a major source of meat, milk, and fiber in the form of wool and represent
a distinct class of animals that have a specialized digestive organ, the rumen, that carries …

… Jones for help picking colonies, and J. Ballou for discussion of G tests. WJ Kress provided
… In: Molecular zoology: advances, strategies and protocols (Ferraris J and Palumbi S, eds). …

The melanocortin receptor 1 (MC1R) plays a central role in regulation of eumelanin (black/brown)
and phaeomelanin (red/yellow) synthesis within the mammalian melanocyte and is …

The genetic structure of sheep reflects their domestication and subsequent formation into
discrete breeds. Understanding genetic structure is essential for achieving genetic …

We describe the organization of a nascent international effort, the Functional Annotation of
Animal Genomes (FAANG) project, whose aim is to produce comprehensive maps of …
