Research Progress on Whole Genome Sequencing of Chinese Cattle
Whole-genome sequencing technology provided important data support for analyzing the genetic diversity of species and exploring major genes. As an important livestock breed in China,Chinese cattle not only play an important role in agricultural pro-duction,but also have unique scientific value in biological research. The whole genome sequencing of Chinese cattle not only helps to analyze its genome structure and functional elements,but also provides a scientific basis for variety improvement and modern breeding. Based on the origin and evolution,this paper reviewed main research progress on whole genome sequencing of Chinese yellow cattle in recent years,especially on identifying the important genes and variant loci related to traits such growth and develop-ment,meat quality,adaptability and milk production performance of Chinese local cattle. At the same time,the future research direction of genome function and regulation analysis was prospected in Chinese cattle,aiming to provide a genetic basis for Chinese cattle's evolution and breeding researches.
