A high-quality horse genome assembly is crucial for genetic analysis of equine. Benefiting from long-read sequencing techniques and trio-binning strategy, we assembled a complete telomere-to-telomere horse genome (T2T-horse 1.0) with a size of 2.80 Gb and a base accuracy of more than 99.9999%, comprising a 34.11-Mb entire Y chromosome. T2T-horse 1.0 filled the gaps and corrected errors in previous assemblies, and added 180.30 Mb of previously unresolved regions and 77 new genes compared with the previous reference genome TB-T2T. We identified five types of centromeric satellites and revealed the features of the horse centromeric regions. We characterized the structure of the Y chromosome, and determined the borders of PAR transposed region, and annotated 59 novel genes on Y chromosome of T2T-horse 1.0. Using SNPs in the X-degenerate region of the Y chromosome of T2T-horse 1.0, we performed selection signatures analysis between indigenous horses and horses from intensively selected breeds, and detected the selected genes ARSF and NLGN4Y, which are closely associated with reproduction and temperamental traits, respectively.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
