A gap-free telomere-to-telomere pig reference genome provides insights into Eurasian pig diversity
Nature ·
The Brief
- A gap-free, telomere-to-telomere reference genome for the pig has been reported.
- The study is described as providing insights into Eurasian pig diversity.
Why it matters
A complete, gap-free reference genome gives researchers a more accurate baseline for comparing pig genomes and studying genetic variation across Eurasian populations.
