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

SheepEpimap combines 516 histone CUT&Tag, ATAC-seq and RNA-seq datasets from 43 sheep tissues to annotate 2.93 million cis-regulatory elements and 145,407 allele-specific variants for trait interpretation.

The paper presents CattleGTEx, a resource characterizing regulatory effects in cattle, resolving GWAS signals and providing insights into adaptive evolution and selection.

The paper uses genomic and morphometric analyses to show that pigs in Wallacea and Oceania have diverse ancestries linked to Austronesian dispersal 4,000-3,000 years ago.

The paper presents a multi-tissue sheep atlas identifying regulatory variants and their effects on molecular phenotypes, revealing allelic heterogeneity and evolutionary patterns.

The paper assembles a gap-free telomere-to-telomere pig genome, revealing new genes, structural variations, and insights into centromere evolution and breed-specific selection.

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 presents a high-quality chromosome-level turkey genome assembly using long-read technologies and Hi-C data, revealing structural variations and a large inversion on the Z chromosome.
