Molecular Genetic Characterization of the Indigenous Asian Cattle Resources

Although the origin, evolutionary history and phylogenetic relationships were well resolved for cattle populations in the Asia, more genomic data are still needed to make informed decision making for conservation and breed improvement programs because some indigenous cattle breeds could not meet the demand of current markets as well as promote the recognition of the special characters of them. In order to strengthen the conservation of domestic cattle resources and continuously improve the quality and performance of native cattle production in this region, this workshop is designed to facilitate sharing data and making the links for future research and collaboration among scientists from different Asian countries.
