The paper investigates the molecular evolution of grey coat color in cattle and identifies MC1R residue 223 as a recurrent target for coat-color lightening in both domestic and wild bovids.

The paper develops BovCADD, a cattle-specific deleteriousness score for substitutions, and shows it can distinguish pathogenic variants from background variation across the genome.

The paper analyzes unmapped reads from whole-genome sequencing data of cattle breeds to reveal geographic variation in pathogen diversity across Europe and Africa.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to determine the taxonomical status of four reindeer individuals, finding they are pure wild forest reindeer, aiding conservation efforts.

This study compares adipose gene expression profiles across four cattle breeds to identify environmental adaptations and differential gene expression related to metabolism, immunity, and feed efficiency.

This study uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze reindeer populations, identifying genetic clusters and domestication events in northern Eurasia.

This study analyzes adipose gene expression in reindeer to understand their adaptation to arctic conditions, identifying genes involved in energy metabolism, immune response, and seasonal variation.

This study sequenced the reindeer genome and analyzed its genetic makeup, identifying genes and domestication events linked to adaptation and evolution.

The paper profiles gene expression in the corpus luteum of sheep during early pregnancy, identifying immune-related genes and suggesting a link between immune system function and reproductive success.

This study analyzes Y-chromosomal haplotypes in domestic, ancient, and wild goats to reconstruct their population history and phylogeographic patterns.

The paper identifies genes and biological processes associated with cattle adaptation to sub-arctic conditions using whole-blood transcriptome analysis.

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze three native cattle breeds from northern regions, identifying genetic adaptations and population history.
