Description
Fahad Alqahtani and co-authors publish the first draft genome of a show camel of the Majaheem type, in work from 2026. Show camels hold deep cultural and economic value in the Middle East, where beauty contests judge their form. Yet their genetics were barely explored, and no reference genome for them existed.
The team read the genome of one male camel with three sequencing methods, mixing long reads, short reads, and linked reads. The draft assembly covers nearly all of the expected gene set by a standard check. Notes on the genes were added. The authors offer the assembly as a base for breeding and conservation work on this valued animal.
