De novo assembly of a Nelore (Bos indicus) bull genome based on short read sequences.
Zebu cattle breeds (Bos indicus) are widely used for milk and beef production in the tropics and show natural adaptations to biotic and abiotic stresses especially found in these regions. Advanced genomic tools will be essential to help unveil and explore the underlying genetic variations that distinguish taurine and indicine cattle and, at the same time, will facilitate the work of breeders striding towards incorporating genomic tools into breeding programs aiming to improve productivity and beef and milk quality.
