Yunling cattle is a new breed of beef cattle bred in Yunnan Province, China. It is bred by crossing the Brahman, the Murray Grey and the Yunnan Yellow cattle. Yunling cattle can adapt to the tropical and subtropical climate environment, and has good reproductive ability and growth speed under high temperature and high humidity conditions, it also has strong resistance to internal and external parasites and with good beef performance. In this study, we generated a high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of a male Yunling cattle using a combination of short reads sequencing, PacBio HiFi sequencing and Hi-C scaffolding technologies. The genome assembly(3.09 Gb) is anchored to 31 chromosomes(29 autosomes plus one X and Y), with a contig N50 of 35.97 Mb and a scaffold N50 of 112.01 Mb. It contains 1.62 Gb of repetitive sequences and 20,660 protein-coding genes. This first construction of the Yunling cattle genome provides a valuable genetic resource that will facilitate further study of the genetic diversity of bovine species and accelerate Yunling cattle breeding efforts.

Background: Yunnan Province, located in Southwestern China, the intricate geography, variable climate, and abundant vegetation of the region have collectively contributed to shaping the distinctive germplasm characteristics observed in Yunnan indigenous cattle through prolonged domestication. The different breeds of Yunnan cattle exhibit distinct advantageous characteristics and traits, which are an important source of genetic variation because they might carry alleles that enable them to adapt to local environment and tough feeding conditions. However, a comprehensive genomic landscape of genetic resources has yet to be delineated.

Article Synopsis
- A new fluorescent probe was developed for detecting alkaline phosphatase (ALP) using a design that includes lanthanide ions and encapsulated ciprofloxacin for reference.
- The probe emits fluorescence at two different wavelengths, with one signal representing the enzyme activity and the other serving as a stable reference due to protective encapsulation.
- It effectively measures ALP levels from 0.1 to 20 U/L and has a low detection limit, successfully analyzing samples from fetal bovine serum and human serum.

Article Synopsis
- The study focused on using advanced models like BayesR and GBLUP with genetic relationship matrices to find the most effective method for multi-breed genomic selection in three beef cattle breeds.
- Results showed that BayesR generally provided higher prediction accuracy compared to GBLUP, particularly when using whole-genome sequencing data, with notable improvements in predicting breeding values in the evaluated cattle breeds.
