Whole-genome sequencing of endangered Zhoushan cattle suggests its origin and the association of MC1R with black coat colour

Abstract Zhoushan cattle are an endangered cattle breed in the Zhoushan islands in China. Since Zhoushan cattle have been bred in isolation, they show unique characteristics, such as dark black coat colour. However, no studies have been conducted on the genome of Zhoushan cattle. Here, we performed...
