The genetic diversity and population structure of native horse breeds in Xinjiang, China
This study elucidates the distribution patterns, evolutionary characteristics, and substantial genetic diversity of Xinjiang's native horse breeds. The results provide crucial insights into their unique genetic background and population history. These findings offer valuable theoretical support for establishing core conservation groups of local germplasm, guiding future breeding programs for new cultivars, and further exploration of the characteristics inherent to Xinjiang's native horse genetic resources.
