Temporal variation in coat colour (genotypes) supports major changes in the Nordic cattle population after Iron Age.

Animal genetics - 1 Aug 2016

Niemi M, Sajantila A, Vilkki J

Abstract excerpt

Variation in coat colour genotypes of archaeological cattle samples from Finland was studied by sequencing 69 base pairs of the extension locus (melanocortin 1-receptor, MC1R) targeting both a transition and a deletion defining the three main alleles, such as dominant black (E(D) ), wild type (E(+) ) and recessive red (e). The 69-bp MC1R sequence was successfully analysed from 23 ancient (1000-1800 AD) samples....
