Abstract excerpt
The Malabari goat of South India is one of the most efficient dual-purpose breeds, exhibiting exceptional adaptability to humid tropical stressors. This study aimed to characterize the complete mitochondrial genome of Malabari goats and to decipher their maternal phylogenetic relationships, thereby providing insights into lineage divergence, domestication origins and genetic connectivity with global caprine...
