Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic evidence for Near-Eastern origins of European cattle
Christopher S. Troy,David E. MacHugh,Jillian F. Bailey,David A. Magee,R. T. Loftus,Patrick Cunningham,Andrew T. Chamberlain,Bryan Sykes,Daniel G. Bradley +8 more
TL;DR: This article examined mitochondrial DNA control-region sequence variation from 392 extant animals sampled from Europe, Africa and the Near East, and compared this with data from four extinct British wild oxen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Zebu Cattle Are an Exclusive Legacy of the South Asia Neolithic
Shanyuan Chen,Bang Zhong Lin,Mumtaz Baig,Bikash Mitra,Bikash Mitra,Ricardo Lopes,António M. Santos,David A. Magee,Marisa Azevedo,Pedro Tarroso,Shinji Sasazaki,Stéphane Ostrowski,Osman Mahgoub,Tapas Kumar Chaudhuri,Ya-Ping Zhang,Vânia Costa,Luis J. Royo,Félix Goyache,Gordon Luikart,Nicole Boivin,Dorian Q. Fuller,Hideyuki Mannen,Daniel G. Bradley,Albano Beja-Pereira +23 more
TL;DR: Evidence from 844 zebu mitochondrial DNA sequences surveyed from 19 Asiatic countries comprising 8 regional groups is reported, which identify 2 distinct mitochondrial haplogroups, termed I1 and I2, which support the Indus Valley as the most likely center of origin for the I1 haplogroup and a primary center of zebe domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome sequencing of the extinct Eurasian wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle.
Stephen D. E. Park,David A. Magee,David A. Magee,Paul A. McGettigan,Matthew D. Teasdale,Ceiridwen J. Edwards,Amanda J. Lohan,Alison Murphy,Martin Braud,Mark T.A. Donoghue,Yuan Liu,Andrew T. Chamberlain,Kevin Rue-Albrecht,Steven G. Schroeder,Charles Spillane,Shuaishuai Tai,Daniel G. Bradley,Tad S. Sonstegard,Brendan J. Loftus,David E. MacHugh +19 more
TL;DR: Phylogenomic analyses place the aurochs as a distinct outgroup to the domestic B. taurus lineage, supporting the predominant Near Eastern origin of European cattle, and reveals that the interface between early European domestic populations and wild auroChs was significantly more complex than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius)
Ceiridwen J. Edwards,David A. Magee,Stephen D. E. Park,Paul A. McGettigan,Amanda J. Lohan,Alison Murphy,Emma K. Finlay,Beth Shapiro,Andrew T. Chamberlain,Martin B. Richards,Daniel G. Bradley,Brendan J. Loftus,David E. MacHugh +12 more
TL;DR: In this paper, DNA sequence analysis of the first complete mitochondrial genome (16,338 base pairs) from an archaeologically verified and exceptionally well preserved aurochs bone sample was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymorphisms in bovine immune genes and their associations with somatic cell count and milk production in dairy cattle
Christine Beecher,Christine Beecher,Mairead Daly,S. Childs,Donagh P. Berry,David A. Magee,Tommie V. McCarthy,Linda Giblin +7 more
TL;DR: Of the sixteen polymorphisms in seven immune genes genotyped, just CXCR1-777 tended to associate with SCS, albeit only in the on-farm study, which would question the potential importance of these variants in selection for improved mastitis resistance in the Holstein-Friesian cow.
