African livestock breeds are numerous and diverse, and typically well adapted to the harsh
environment conditions under which they perform. They have been used over centuries to …

Genomic selection (GS) has resulted in rapid rates of genetic gains especially in dairy cattle
in developed countries resulting in a higher proportion of genomically proven young bulls …

Cattle pastoralism plays a central role in human livelihood in Africa. However, the genetic
history of its success remains unknown. Here, through whole-genome sequence analysis of …

Both natural and artificial selection are among the main driving forces sha** genetic

The current changing climate trend poses a threat to the productive efficacy and welfare of
livestock across the globe. This review is an attempt to synthesize information pertaining to …

Environmental adaptation traits of indigenous African cattle are increasingly being
investigated to respond to the need for sustainable livestock production in the context of …

Multiple studies have investigated selection signatures in domestic cattle and other species.
However, there is a dearth of information about the response to selection in genomes of …

The diversity in genome resources is fundamental to designing genomic strategies for local
breed improvement and utilisation. These resources also support gene discovery and …

The African continent is home to diverse populations of livestock breeds adapted to harsh
environmental conditions with more than 70% under traditional systems of management …

In this study, our primary aim was to explore the genomic landscape of Barka cattle, a breed
recognized for high milk production in a semi-arid environment, by focusing on genes with …
