Genomic insights into the genetic diversity and genetic basis of body height in endangered Chinese Ningqiang ponies
The results of this study elucidate the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and effective population size of Ningqiang ponies compared to other ponies and horses, further deepen the understanding of their small stature, and provide valuable insights into the conservation and breeding of local horse breeds in China.
