Studying phenotypic evolution in domestic animals: a walk in the footsteps of Charles Darwin.

Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology - 1 Jan 2009

Andersson L

Abstract excerpt

Charles Darwin used domesticated plants and animals as proof of principle for his theory on phenotypic evolution by means of natural selection. Inspired by Darwin's work, we developed an intercross between the wild boar and domestic pigs to study the genetic basis for phenotypic changes during do...
