Haplotype‐Resolved Genome Assemblies for Norwegian Red Cattle

: 73.8-88.5 Mb) and are accurately phased (hamming error rate: 0.46%-2.52%). Most autosomes have been assembled into the acrocentric centromere, and mapping of bovine satellite sequences reveals distinct organisational patterns of different satellite units across this highly repetitive region. The NR2025 assemblies provide a valuable resource for identification of novel variants and haplotypes in the NR population, which will enable more accurate association studies of genotype-to-phenotype relations and genomic predictions in NR cattle, ultimately enhancing the efficacy of selection for desirable traits.
