Comprehensive genomic analysis of genetic diversity, body size, and origins of the Hetian Gray donkey
In summary, the results confirm that geographical distance plays a crucial role in determining the genetic relationships among the Hetian Gray donkey and other populations. The Xinjiang donkey and the Guanzhong donkey played an important role in the formation of the Hetian Gray donkey, and genes related to body size were positively selected during development of the breed.
