The paper constructs a cattle pangenome to identify novel non-reference unique insertions (NRUIs) and links them to economically important traits.

The paper constructs a bovine pangenome using long-read sequencing and identifies structural variants associated with key phenotypes in French cattle breeds.

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.

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

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