Mitochondrial sequence variation suggests an African influence in Portuguese cattle.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Mar 1999

Cymbron T, Loftus R T, Malheiro M I, Bradley D G

Abstract excerpt

A total of 49 samples from indigenous Portuguese cattle breeds were analysed for sequence variation in the hypervariable region of the mitochondrial DNA D-loop. Sequence comparison and phylogenetic analyses revealed that haplotypes fell into two distinct groups. These corresponded with two separate haplotype clusters into which, respectively, all African, or alternatively all sequences of European origin, have...
