Genes of domestic mammals augmented by backcrossing with wild ancestors.

Trends in genetics : TIG - 1 Apr 2005

Vilà Carles, Seddon Jennifer, Ellegren Hans

Abstract excerpt

Both archaeological data and the presence of few mitochondrial DNA lineages suggest that most widespread domestic mammals (cattle, sheep, goats, pigs and dogs) derive from only a handful of domestication events. However, each of these species shows a high level of diversity at the nuclear genes of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). Through simulations incorporating various degrees of population...
