Background Native cattle breeds are an important source of genetic variation because they
might carry alleles that enable them to adapt to local environment and tough feeding …

Livestock plays a central role in sustaining human livelihood in South Asia. There are
numerous and distinct livestock species in South Asian countries. Several of them have …

Genome-scale sequence data have invigorated the study of hybridization and introgression,
particularly in animals. However, outside of a few notable cases, we lack systematic tests for …

Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world,
both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial. To …

Domestic sheep and their wild relatives harbor substantial genetic variants that can form the
backbone of molecular breeding, but their genome landscapes remain understudied. Here …

Genome-wide analysis of 67 ancient Near Eastern cattle, Bos taurus, remains reveals
regional variation that has since been obscured by admixture in modern populations …

A cattle pangenome representation was created based on the genome sequences of 898
cattle representing 57 breeds. The pangenome identified 83 Mb of sequence not found in …

Indicine cattle, also referred to as zebu (Bos taurus indicus), play a central role in pastoral
communities across a wide range of agro-ecosystems, from extremely hot semiarid regions …

Domestic yak, cattle, and their hybrids are fundamental to herder survival at high altitudes on
the Tibetan Plateau. However, little is known about their history. Bos remains are uncommon …

Yak has been subject to natural selection, human domestication and interspecific
introgression during its evolution. However, genetic variants favored by each of these …
