Whole-Genome-Based Web Genomic Resource for Water Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis).

ABSTRACT: Water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), belonging to the Bovidae family, is an economically important animal as it is the major source of milk, meat, and drought in numerous countries. It is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions with a global population of approximately 202 million. The advent of low cost and rapid sequencing technologies has opened a new vista for global buffalo researchers. In this study, we utilized the genomic data of five commercially important buffalo breeds, distributed globally, namely, Mediterranean, Egyptian, Bangladesh, Jaffrarabadi, and Murrah. Since there is no whole-genome sequence analysis of these five distinct buffalo breeds, which represent a highly diverse ecosystem, we made an attempt for the same. We report the first comp
