Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression and environmental adaptation in the Sheko cattle of southwest Ethiopia.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2018

Bahbahani Hussain, Afana Arwa, Wragg David

Abstract excerpt

Although classified as an African taurine breed, the genomes of Sheko cattle are an admixture of Asian zebu and African taurine ancestries. They populate the humid Bench Maji zone in Sheko and Bench districts in the south-western part of Ethiopia and are considered as a trypanotolerant breed with high potential for dairy production. Here, we investigate the genome of Sheko cattle for candidate signatures of...
