Description
Ke Cai leads a twelve-author team analyzing the genetics of the Lvliang black goat, in a study published in two thousand twenty-four. This Chinese local breed is prized for black fur, meat quality, and hardiness. Protecting such breeds requires knowing their genetic health.
Genome-wide SNP data assessed diversity and inbreeding. The population showed high diversity and low inbreeding, good news for conservation. Male goats clustered into thirteen families. Structure analysis placed the breed close to Nanjiang and Qinggoda goats, suggesting shared ancestry. Selection signatures, genomic regions shaped by breeding, were also mapped. The authors provide a baseline for managing the breed's germplasm. Local breeds like this one are genetic insurance for changing farming conditions.
