Whole-genome analysis reveals genetic diversity and selection pressure in Sichuan donkey
This study clarified the genetic diversity, genetic differentiation, and effective population size of Sichuan donkeys by comparing them with other donkey breeds. Our findings contribute to deeper understanding of the high-altitude adaptability of Sichuan donkeys, and provide valuable information for the conservation and breeding of the breed.
