Goat genome assemblies, nine breeds for pangenome contribution

The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies for nine goat breeds using long-read sequencing, contributing to pangenome construction and structural variant analysis.

Divergent selection for feed efficiency in pigs altered the duodenum transcriptome and DNA methylation profiles, resulting in greater responses to feed intake in the most efficient line

A single base pair duplication in SLC33A1 gene causes fetal losses and neonatal lethality in Manech Tete Rousse dairy sheep

The paper identifies a single base pair duplication in SLC33A1 causing fetal losses and neonatal lethality in MTR sheep through whole genome sequencing and breeding studies.

Homozygous haplotype deficiency in Manech Tete Rousse dairy sheep revealed a nonsense variant in MMUT gene affecting newborn lamb viability

The paper identifies recessive deleterious variants in Manech Tete Rousse dairy sheep using genome scans, finds a nonsense mutation in MMUT causing lamb mortality, and links other haplotypes to morphological traits.

Genome-wide identification of a regulatory mutation in BMP15 controlling prolificacy in sheep

The paper identifies a regulatory mutation in BMP15 on the X chromosome in sheep that increases litter size by 0.2 lambs per lambing at heterozygosity.

Presence of causative mutations affecting prolificacy in the Noire du Velay and Mouton Vendeen sheep breeds

The paper identifies two mutations affecting prolificacy in two sheep breeds and estimates their allele effects on litter size.

Variation in recombination rate and its genetic determinism in sheep (Ovis aries) populations from combining multiple genome-wide datasets

The paper analyzes recombination patterns in sheep using multiple datasets, identifies genetic loci affecting recombination rate variation, and compares results across breeds.
