This study constructs a cross-species single-cell transcriptomic atlas of placentas across ten mammalian species, revealing trophoblast lineage dynamics and gene regulatory networks linked to placental evolution and disease.

This study identifies three genomic regions and 12 candidate genes associated with age at first service in Chinese Holstein heifers using GWAS and colocalization analysis, highlighting ANAPC4 as a putative causal gene.

The paper identifies LCORL and STC2 variants associated with increased body size and growth rate in cattle and other domesticated animals through genetic analysis and mouse models.

GP-ML-DC improves genome prediction by combining machine learning and deep learning with a two-phase dimensionality reduction approach, outperforming existing methods on cattle milk traits.

The paper constructs a graph-based sheep pan-genome to identify structural variations and their association with tail phenotypes in domestic and wild sheep.

This study constructs a chicken pan-genome from 20 de novo assemblies, identifying novel genes predominantly in sub-telomeric regions that are undetectable by DNA sequencing but present in transcriptomes.

This study identifies introgression and selection events in goat domestication, linking them to immune and behavioral genes.

The paper constructs a pig pan-genome using multiple de novo assemblies and Hi-C data, identifying novel sequences and improving SNP calling for genetic diversity analysis.
