A Study of the Genetic Structure of Hybrid Camels in Kazakhstan

Camel farming is gaining scientific interest due to its unique agricultural characteristics. Camels are versatile for milk and meat production, wool, racing, transport, tourism. To use their full potential, it essential improve our understanding of the genetic structure these animals. One-humped two-humped camels have received detailed descriptions, while there no such information hybrids, which outperform parent species in several Thus, this study, first time, whole genome sequencing data (WGS) five hybrid bred Almaty region Kazakhstan presented comparison with WGS one-humped, two-humped, wild camels. A total 43,552,164 single-nucleotide polymorphisms were found across studied groups. Further SNPs showed following number private among populations: (3,271,083), (2,515,591), Bactrians (1,244,694), dromedaries (531,224). The animals was described, a phylogenetic tree built assess distance. It that hybrids genetically closer since they on close branch tree.
