Two telomere-to-telomere pig genome assemblies and pan-genome analyses provide insights into genomic structural landscape and genetic adaptations

Abstract

This study presented two high-precision telomere-to-telomere genome assemblies for Min and Rongchang pigs, including a detailed exploration of the telomeric and centromeric regions. By integrating pan-genome and multi-omics analyses, structural variations linked to genetic adaptation were identified, providing a valuable resource for advancing pig breeding and genetic improvement.
