The paper presents high-quality genome assemblies for five African cattle breeds using PacBio HiFi sequencing, achieving high contiguity and completeness.

This study analyzes genetic diversity and admixture in Benin's cattle breeds, finding significant differentiation between taurine and zebu breeds and gene flow from zebu to taurine due to adaptive factors.

This paper improves genomic evaluation in Tanzanian smallholder dairy cattle by incorporating spatial modelling to better separate genetic and environmental effects.

The paper develops an algorithm to accurately assign breed origin to alleles in crossbred dairy cattle, achieving high accuracy in simulated breeding programs.
