📣📣📣 New paper out, this time on Indonesian cattle genomics 🌏🐂🐃🐄🇮🇩 Genomic resources for cattle are important, not only to better understand their evolutionary histories, but also because they can contribute to sustainable farming and food security. Congrats to all!
Our new paper on Indonesian cattle #genomics is out on @NatureComms 🎉 Did you know Indonesian #cattle 🐂 were a mix of two species? Great work: @XiWang91099530 @sagitaninta @HellerRasmus @casia16 Read 👉 https://t.co/WIXTpzpHT1
