Genome-wide local ancestry and direct evidence for mitonuclear coadaptation in African hybrid cattle populations ( <i>Bos taurus</i> / <i>indicus</i> )
2021-08-27
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> The phenotypic diversity of African cattle reflects adaptation to a wide range of agroecological conditions, human-mediated selection preferences, and complex patterns of admixture between the humpless Bos taurus (taurine) and humped Bos indicus (zebu) subspecies, which diverged 150-500 thousand years ago. Despite extensive admixture, all African cattle possess taurine mitochondrial haplotypes,...
