Basic facts about Gayal: lifpan, distributn and habat map, liftyle and social behavr, matg habs, diet and nutrn, populatn size and stat. * the gayal animal *
The gayal lacks the gr’s massive shoulr hump, and s skull is shorter, wir, and flatter; the horns of both sex prot om the sis of the head and are thicker, but shorter, than those of the gr. Gayal (Bos ontalis), also known as mhan or mhun, is a large endangered semi-domtited bove that has a limed geographil distributn the hill-forts of Cha, Northeast India, Banglash, Myanmar, and Bhutan.
For example, Che gayal, or Dulong ttle, are known to harbor zebu or tre mtDNA footprts, suggtg hybrid orig [5, 11], and more studi have shown a high mtDNA and Y-chromosomal DNA sequenc siary between gayal and guar [12–15]. Consequently, mappg of requencg data om 1 bove speci onto the reference genome of different speci (for stance, gayal vs ttle) creat avenu for bias and/or errors sequence alignment and SNP llg procr. In ntrast to the gayal, novo genome assembly has been acplished for related speci like ttle (Bos ts) [19], yak (Bos gnniens) [17], wisent (Bison bonas) [20], North Amerin bison (Bison bison) [21], zebu (Bos dic) [22], and water buffalo (Bubal bubalis) [23].
To asss the pletens of the assembled gayal genome, we performed BUSCO analysis (BUSCO, RRID:SCR_015008) [27] by searchg agast the arthropod universal benchmarkg sgle-py orthologs (BUSCOs, versn 2.

WHOLE-GENOME SEQUENCG OF THE ENDANGERED BOVE SPECI GAYAL (BOS ONTALIS) PROVIS NEW SIGHTS TO S GEIC FEATUR
Gayal (Bos ontalis) is a semi-wild and endangered bove speci that differs om domtic ttle (Bos ts and Bos dic) and s geic background remas unclear. Here, we performed whole-genome sequencg of one Gayal for the first time, wh one Red Ang ttle and one Japane Black ttle as ntrols. In total, 97.8 Gb of sequencg reads were generated wh an average 11.78-fold pth and >98.44% verage of the reference sequence (UMD3.1). Numero different variatns were intified, 62.24% of the total sgle nucleoti polymorphisms (SNPs) tected Gayal were novel and 16,901 breed-specific nonsynonymo SNPs (BS-nsSNPs) that might be associated wh tras of tert Gayal were further vtigated. Moreover, the mographic history of bove speci was first analyzed and two populatn expansns and two populatn bottlenecks were intified. The obv differenc among their populatn siz supported that Gayal was not B. ts. The phylogenic analysis suggted that Gayal was a hybrid scendant om crossg of male wild gr and female domtic ttle. The disveri will provi valuable genomic rmatn regardg potential genomic markers that uld predict tras of tert for breedg programs of the ttle breeds and may assist relevant partments wh future nservatn and utilizatn of Gayal. * the gayal animal *
