Reviewer 2 Report

The article received for review is well prepared, written in a coherent and cursive manner, with high quality results obtained thanks to the methods used. Some minor aspects that escaped the authors, probably in a hurry, refer to the writing of names in Latin with italics (for example, Bos taurus, row 45) or ending some sentences with a comma instead of a full stop (row 49). In my opinion, the title is formulated in a way that is difficult to understand and that seems to detract from the importance of the achievements rather than enhance them.
