Radiation Hybrid Mapping for Goat:Construction of a goat (Capra hircus) whole-genome radiation hybrid panel

摘要

The goat (Capra hircus) is an important agricultural species worldwide with centuries of phcnotypic observations, trait selection, and breed differentiation. However, the understanding of the goat at the genomic level lags behind other livestock species, such as cattle, pig, chicken, and sheep. To improve our understanding of the genetic components of traits related to goat health, production and biology, there is an urgent need to develop a detailed goat genome map.
