Abstract:
The recurring Fibonacci sequence in various biological systems proves that mathematical ideas are frequently mirrored in natural patterns. This work assumes the compelling theory that cattle genomes may exhibit similar periodic and recursive patterns, particularly in regions associated with reproductive fitness. Unregulated crossbreeding can jeopardize indigenous germplasm and disturb natural genomic configurations, endangering genetic diversity and the structural integrity of the genome. We suggest that animal genomes may follow observable mathematical patterns by looking at haplotype and single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) distributions. Finding these hidden patterns through whole genome sequencing (WGS) is crucial for rethinking genetic improvement strategies in livestock breeding programs and providing insights into optimising reproductive traits.
