Genetic signatures of a Mediterranean influence in Iberian Peninsula sheep husbandry.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jul 2006

Abstract excerpt

Highly adaptable and versatile populations of domestic sheep, the result of millennia of intense husbandry, are found in almost every corner of the world. Here we describe a genetic survey of sheep from the western fringe of its European distribution. We studied the mitochondrial DNA control region sequences from 161 individuals belonging to 7 Portuguese sheep breeds. Our study revealed a high level of genetic...
