Structural variation and introgression from wild populations in East Asian cattle genomes confer adaptation to local environment

Abstract Background Structural variations (SVs) in individual genomes are major determinants of complex traits, including adaptability to environmental variables. The Mongolian and Hainan cattle breeds in East Asia are of taurine and indicine origins that have evolved to adapt to cold and hot enviro...
