Reconstructing the origin and dispersal patterns of village chickens across East Africa: insights from autosomal markers.

Molecular ecology - 1 May 2013

Mwacharo J M, Nomura K, Hanada H, Han J L, Amano T, Hanotte O

Abstract excerpt

Unravelling the genetic history of any livestock species is central to understanding the origin, development and expansion of agricultural societies and economies. Domestic village chickens are widespread in Africa. Their close association with, and reliance on, humans for long-range dispersal makes the species an important biological marker in tracking cultural and trading contacts between human societies and...
