Ancient chicken remains reveal the origins of virulence in Marek's disease virus.
(2023-12-15)The pronounced growth in livestock populations since the 1950s has altered the epidemiological and evolutionary trajectory of their associated pathogens. For example, Marek's disease virus (MDV), which causes lymphoid ... -
Ancient mitogenomes from Pre-Pottery Neolithic Central Anatolia and the effects of a Late Neolithic bottleneck in sheep (Ovis aries).
(2024-04-12)Occupied between ~10,300 and 9300 years ago, the Pre-Pottery Neolithic site of Aşıklı Höyük in Central Anatolia went through early phases of sheep domestication. Analysis of 629 mitochondrial genomes from this and numerous ... -
A compendium of genetic regulatory effects across pig tissues.
(2024-01)The Farm Animal Genotype-Tissue Expression (FarmGTEx) project has been established to develop a public resource of genetic regulatory variants in livestock, which is essential for linking genetic polymorphisms to variation ... -
The history of Coast Salish "woolly dogs" revealed by ancient genomics and Indigenous Knowledge.
(2023-12-15)Ancestral Coast Salish societies in the Pacific Northwest kept long-haired "woolly dogs" that were bred and cared for over millennia. However, the dog wool-weaving tradition declined during the 19th century, and the ... -
A pangenome graph reference of 30 chicken genomes allows genotyping of large and complex structural variants.
(2023-11-22)BACKGROUND: The red junglefowl, the wild outgroup of domestic chickens, has historically served as a reference for genomic studies of domestic chickens. These studies have provided insight into the etiology of traits of ...
