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

First genotyping of Blastocystis in yaks from Qinghai Province, northwestern China [PDF]
Parasites & Vectors, 2019 Background Blastocystis is a common protist that can infect domestic and wild animals worldwide. Yak (Bos grunniens), an ancient species which can survive in alpine regions, has supplied necessities to local residents in plateau areas for generations ...

Multi-omics insights into the energy compensation of rumen microbiota of grazing yaks in cold season [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyBackgroundThe ability of yaks to adapt to the extreme environment of low temperatures and hypoxia at cold seasons on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP) is related to the host genome; however, the convergent evolution of rumen microbiomes in host adaption is

Multiomics of yaks reveals significant contribution of microbiome into host metabolism [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesAn intensive feeding system might improve the production cycle of yaks. However, how intensive feeding system contributes to yak growth is unclear. Here, multi-omics, including rumen metagenomics, rumen and plasma metabolomics, were performed to classify

The First Survey of Bovine Babesia Species Infecting Yaks (Bos grunniens) in Mongolia [PDF]
, 2023 application/pdfYak (Bos grunniens) farming is an important part of Mongolia's livestock industry. Yaks survive in harsh mountain environments; provide meat, milk, and wool; and serve as a mode of transportation.

Feeding systems influence the rumen resistome in yaks by changing the microbiome [PDF]
Frontiers in MicrobiologyThe rumen microbiome serves as a reservoir of antibiotic-resistance genes (ARGs) with significant implications for public health. This study aimed to investigate the effects of different feeding systems on the rumen resistome in yaks.
