The mitogenome was 16,854 bp in length and encoded 37 typical mitochondrial genes, including 13 protein-coding genes, 22 tRNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 1 control regions. The total length of the 13 PCGs was 11,140 bp, and the AT content was 79.8%. There were five types of start codons, ATT (nad2, nad3, nad5, and nad6...

...een characterized at the genome level, and significant selection signatures have been found. The ability to uncover causative genes and variants linked to many phenotypes has been made possible in recent years by advancements in high-throughput genome scanning techniques, most notably whole-genome sequencing, SNP genotyping arrays, and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) arrays. The ne...

...tracted the virus’ genome and detected the suspected animals with RSV. Were calves’ male RSV infection with a prevalence of (68%), which was significantly higher than the female (32%) rate for young cows. Moreover, a significant difference between Holstein Friesian and Local-cross breed in the percentage of RSV viral infection (χ2= 6.231, p= 0.013) was noticed, which revealed that Holstein Friesian are more susceptible to RSV. Also, a significa...
