Evolutionary origin of genomic structural variations in domestic yaks [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Yak has been subject to natural selection, human domestication and interspecific introgression during its evolution. However, genetic variants favored by each of these processes have not been distinguished previously. We constructed a graph-genome for 47
