摘要： Background: The swamp buffalo (Bubalus bubalis carabanesis) is an economically important livestock supplying milk, meat, leather, and draft power. Several female buffalo genomes have been available, but the lack of high-quality male genomes hinders studies on chromosome evolution, especially Y, as well as meiotic recombination. Results: Here, a chromosome-level genome with a contig N50 of 72.2 Mb and a fine-scale recombination map of male buffalo were reported. We found that transposable elements (TEs) and structural variants (SVs) may contribute to buffalo evolution by influencing adjacent gene expression. We further found that the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the Y chromosome is subject to stronger purification selection. The meiotic recombination map showed that there were 2 obvious recombination hotspots on chromosome 8, and the genes around them were mainly related to tooth development, which may have helped to enhance the adaption of buffalo to inferior feed. Among several genomic features, TE density has the strongest correlation with recombination rates. Moreover, the TE subfamily, SINE/tRNA, is likely to play a role in driving recombination into SVs. Conclusions: The male genome and sperm sequencing will facilitate the understanding of the buffalo genomic evolution and functional research.
