Genome-wide analysis of Nubian ibex reveals candidate positively selected genes that contribute to its adaptation to the desert environment

The domestic goat (Capra hircus) is an important livestock species with a geographic range spanning all continents, including arid and semi-arid regions of Africa and Asia. The Nubian ibex (Capra nubiana), a wild relative of the domestic goat inhabiting the hot deserts of Northern Africa and the Ara...
