中文摘要：

牛作为反刍动物的代表,具有独特的生物学特征和重要的哺乳动物进化地位,是人类生产活动的重要工具和肉、奶等物质需求的主要来源。近10年来,牛全基因组研究取得了很多重要的进展,为解释牛的生物学特征和加快品种的分子育种进程发挥了重要作用,文章重点介绍了牛全基因组测序的相关研究成果,以及测序工作完成后的研究进展,讨论了牛全基因组测序工作的机遇、研究重点,以及今后面临的挑战。

英文摘要：

As a representative of ruminants,cattle have unique biological characteristics and important evolutionary position compared to other mammals,acting as an important tool and sources of meat and milk to human.During last decade,great progresses have been made in cattle genome research,which plays an important role in understanding the biology and promoting the molecular breeding process.This article introduces the cattle genome sequencing and researches after sequencing,and discussed the opportunities,emphasis and challenges of future bovine genome sequencing research.
