Whole-genome sequencing of Tarim red deer (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis)

Tarim Red Deer (Cervus elaphus yarkandensis, TRD) have adapted to the harsh environmental conditions in this basin, including high solar radiation and temperature, aridity, and poor nutritional conditions. The genomic sequencing data for TRD could be valuable and useful for both conservation of wild populations and utilization of domestic ones as a resource for further study, providing baseline sequence and annotation data for the species.

塔里木马鹿（Tarim Red Deer，Cervus elaphus yarkandensis，TRD）已适应该流域的严苛环境条件，涵盖强太阳辐射、极端温度、干旱以及营养匮乏的生境。该物种的基因组测序数据具备重要科研与应用价值，既可支撑野生种群的保护工作，也可作为驯养种群后续研究的宝贵资源，同时为该物种提供基础序列与注释数据。
