Abstract excerpt
Previous mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) studies have suggested that European and Asian pig populations were derived through multiple domestication events. We investigated whether domestic pig populations were derived from distinct ancestors within their respective regions, using eight domestic breeds (five European and three Asian), and also European and Asian wild boar populations. Genomic analyses utilized 21...
