Goat ADAPTmap Project

New Content Item

The ADAPT project aims to coordinate genomic research on the rich diversity of goat breeds across the globe. This collection is a selection of studies working on this project. 


  1. Content type: Research Article

    Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems an...
