Abstract excerpt
Asian and European wild boars were independently domesticated ca. 10,000 yr ago. Since the 17th century, Chinese breeds have been imported to Europe to improve the genetics of European animals by introgression of favorable alleles, resulting in a complex mosaic of haplotypes. To interrogate the structure of these haplotypes further, we have run a new haplotype segregation analysis based on information theory,...
