Adaptive introgression and the origin of dog starch digestion

2026-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Dogs have a higher ability to digest starch than wolves, and this trait is believed to be associated with human agricultural societies. Starch digestion is linked to two key genes: the pancreatic amylase gene ( <italic>AMY2B</italic> ) and the <italic>MGAM</italic> gene. However, it remains unclear whether the nucleotide variants accumulated in the dog haplotypes of these genes or...
