Title: Historical Introgression from Wild Relatives Enhanced Climatic Adaptation and Resistance to Pneumonia in Sheep
Author(s)Date: 2021-03-01Type: Journal ArticleStatus: Open accessHow animals, particularly livestock, adapt to various climates and environments over short evolutionary time is of fundamental biological interest. Further, understanding the genetic mechanisms of adaptation in indigenous ... -
Title: Paternal Origins and Migratory Episodes of Domestic Sheep
Author(s)Date: 2020-10-19Type: Journal ArticleStatus: Open accessThe domestication and subsequent global dispersal of livestock are crucial events in human history, but the migratory episodes during the history of livestock remain poorly documented [1, 2, 3]. Here, we first developed a ... -
Title: Whole-genome resequencing of wild and domestic sheep identifies genes associated with morphological and agronomic traits
Author(s)Date: 2020-06-04Type: Journal ArticleStatus: Open accessUnderstanding the genetic changes underlying phenotypic variation in sheep (Ovis aries) may facilitate our efforts towards further improvement. Here, we report the deep resequencing of 248 sheep including the wild ancestor ...
