Unveiling the Genomic Signatures for Tropical Adaptation in Kangayam Cattle by De-correlated Composite of Multiple Selection Signals

Background: This study aimed to identify genomic regions under selection in Kangayam cattle of Tamil Nadu using a de-correlated composite of multiple signals (DCMS) framework. Methods: BovineHD SNP array data were retrieved from the WIDDE repository and the ICAR Krishi-Kosh portal. After quality control, autosomal SNPs...

Genome-Wide Selection Signatures in Nili-Ravi Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) Reveal a T-Cell Costimulatory and Cytokine-Signaling Gene Network Distinct from Classical Bovine Tuberculosis Candidate Genes

The findings suggest that adaptive, cell-mediated immune signaling rather than the innate/macrophage-centred mechanisms emphasized by existing bTB candidate gene panels may be a more productive avenue for future selection studies in Nili-Ravi buffalo, while underscoring the value of buffalo-native coordinate systems fo...

Genomic Variation and Phenotypic Diversity of Coffee-Derived Lactiplantibacillus plantarum Isolates

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum exhibits substantial strain-level genomic diversity that may contribute to variation in stress tolerance and functional properties. Five isolates recovered from spontaneously fermented red coffee cherries were analyzed by whole-genome resequencing and phenotypic characterization. Single-nu...

Pan-genomics and multi-omics for deciphering genetic variation and accelerating genetic improvement in ruminant livestock

Current dairy-cattle evidence indicates that pangenome-derived structural variants can substantially improve variant discovery and functional interpretation while yielding only marginal average gains in routine genomic prediction, favoring targeted augmentation rather than wholesale replacement of established SNP-based...
