Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

The gaur (Bos gaurus; ), also known as the Indian bison, is a large bovine native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, and has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1986. The global population was estimated at a maximum of 21,000 mature individuals in 2016, with the majority of those existing in India. It is the largest species among the wild cattle and the Bovidae. The domesticated gayal or mithun originated partly from the wild gaur and is most common in the border regions of Northeast India (Assam, Manipur, Nagaland) and Bangladesh with Myanmar and Yunnan, China.

Genome assembly of the Bos gaurus in Vietnam using nanopore sequencing.. OBJECTIVES: The gaur (Bos gaurus) is one of the largest wild cattle species in the Bovidae family and is among the most threatened mammals in Vietnam. Listed as vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1986, gaurs are found in various provinces across Vietnam, including Lai Chau, Son La, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and several others. Their population has drastically declined, with current estimates showing about 30-50 individuals in the Northwest and fewer than 300 in the Central Highlands. Conservation efforts are crucial, and genome assembly is vital, providing valuable information for effective conservation strategies. DATA D…

The tribe Bovini or wild cattle are medium to massive bovines that are native to Eurasia, North America, and Africa. These include the enigmatic, antelope-like saola, the African and Asiatic buffaloes, and a clade that consists of bison and the wild cattle of the genus Bos. Not only are they the largest members of the subfamily Bovinae, they are the largest species of their family Bovidae. The largest species is the gaur (Bos gaurus), weighing up to 1,500 kg (3,300 lb). Bovins and humans have had a long and complex relationship. Five of seven species have been successfully domesticated, with one species (cattle) being the most successful member of their lineage. Domesticated shortly after t…

Impact of infectious diseases on wild bovidae populations in Thailand: insights from population modelling and disease dynamics.. The wildlife and livestock interface is vital for wildlife conservation and habitat management. Infectious diseases maintained by domestic species may impact threatened species such as Asian bovids, as they share natural resources and habitats. To predict the population impact of infectious diseases with different traits, we used stochastic mathematical models to simulate the population dynamics over 100 years for 100 times in a model gaur ( Bos gaurus ) population with and without disease. We simulated repeated introductions from a reservoir, such as domestic cat…

Genome assembly of wisent (Bison bonasus) uncovers a deletion that likely inactivates the THRSP gene.. The wisent (Bison bonasus) is Europe's largest land mammal. We produced a HiFi read-based wisent assembly with a contig N50 value of 91 Mb containing 99.7% of the highly conserved single copy mammalian genes which improves contiguity a thousand-fold over an existing assembly. Extended runs of homozygosity in the wisent genome compromised the separation of the HiFi reads into parental-specific read sets, which resulted in inferior haplotype assemblies. A bovine super-pangenome built with assemblies from wisent, bison, gaur, yak, taurine and indicine cattle identified a 1580 bp deletion remo…

Advancing the Indian cattle pangenome: characterizing non-reference sequences in Bos indicus.. Background India harbors the world's largest cattle population, encompassing over 50 distinct Bos indicus breeds. This rich genetic diversity underscores the inadequacy of a single reference genome to fully capture the genomic landscape of Indian cattle. To comprehensively characterize the genomic variation within Bos indicus and, specifically, dairy breeds, we aim to identify non-reference sequences and construct a comprehensive pangenome. Results Five representative genomes of prominent dairy breeds, including Gir, Kankrej, Tharparkar, Sahiwal, and Red Sindhi, were sequenced using 10X Genomics '…
