Sumario:Whole genome re-sequencing revealed adaptation prior to the divergence of buffalo subspecies. Better understanding of the origins of buffalo genome diversity may guide ex-situ conservation priorities, contribute to studies of genetic variants for economic and ecologically important traits; and feed into admixture analysis to determine an individual animal's breed composition.
