Genome-wide scan reveals genetic divergence and diverse adaptive selection in Chinese local cattle

Abstract Background Understanding the population structure and genetic bases of well-adapted cattle breeds to local environments is one of the most essential tasks to develop appropriate genetic improvement programs. Results We performed a comprehensive study to investigate the population structure,...
