Mitochondrial DNA variation of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) in Kenya.

Animal genetics - 1 Jun 2016

Resende Adriana, Gonçalves Joana, Muigai Anne W T, Pereira Filipe

Abstract excerpt

The history of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) in Africa remains largely unknown. After being first introduced from the Near East, sheep gradually spread through the African continent with pastoral societies. The eastern part of Africa was important either for the first diffusion of sheep southward or for putative secondary introductions from the Arabian Peninsula or southern Asia. We analysed mitochondrial DNA...
