Summary The aim of the present study was to perform a preliminary analysis of the characterization and diversity of Y‐chromosome haplotypes/haplogroups in yak of Qinghai Province, China. A total of 322 male yaks from nine populations belonging to three officially recognized breeds (Gaoyuan, Huanhu a...
