Rare and common variant discovery by whole-genome sequencing of 101 Thoroughbred racehorses

Abstract The Thoroughbred breed was formed by crossing Oriental horse breeds and British native horses and is currently used in horseracing worldwide. In this study, we constructed a single-nucleotide variant (SNV) database using data from 101 Thoroughbred racehorses. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) r...
