Signatures of positive selection in African Butana and Kenana dairy zebu cattle
Butana and Kenana are two types of zebu cattle found in Sudan. They are unique amongst
African indigenous zebu cattle because of their high milk production. Aiming to understand
their genome structure, we genotyped 25 ...
Whole-Genome Resequencing of Red Junglefowl and Indigenous Village Chicken Reveal New Insights on the Genome Dynamics of the Species
The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the
commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six
to one. The genetic control for production traits have been ...
Mitochondrial DNA variation reveals maternal origins and demographic dynamics of Ethiopian indigenous goats
The Horn of Africa forms one of the two main historical entry points of domestics
into the continent and Ethiopia is particularly important in this regard. Through the
analysis of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) d-loop
region ...
Invited review: Genomic selection for small ruminants in developed countries: how applicable for the rest of the world?
Improved management and use of estimated breeding values in breeding programmes, have resulted in rapid genetic progress for
small ruminants (SR) in Europe and other developed countries. The development of single nucleotide ...
