Genomic signatures for drylands adaptation at gene-rich regions in African zebu cattle

Genomics, 2022
Background Indigenous Sudanese cattle are mainly indicine/zebu (humped) type. They thrive in the harshest dryland environments characterised by high temperatures, long seasonal dry periods, nutritional shortages, and vector disease challenges.
