Refinement of Bos taurus sequence assembly based on BAC-FISH experiments.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Horses have been strongly selected for speed, strength, and endurance-exercise traits since the onset of domestication. As a result, highly specialized horse breeds have developed with many modern horse breeds often representing closed populations with high phenotypic and genetic uniformity. However, a great...
