TL;DR: Data show that cattle have undergone a rapid recent decrease in effective population size from a very large ancestral population, possibly due to bottlenecks associated with domestication, selection, and breed formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative analysis of genetic similarity among maize inbred lines detected by RFLPs, RAPDs, SSRs, and AFLPs
Ivan Pejić,Paolo Ajmone-Marsan,Michele Morgante,V. Kozumplick,P. Castiglioni,G. Taramino,M. Motto +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a comparison of DNA-based fingerprinting techniques, including RAPD, SSR, AFLP and AFLP, was performed for maize inbred lines and the results showed that AFLPs were the most efficient marker system because of their capacity to reveal several bands in a single amplification.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: By using endogenous retroviruses as genetic markers, it is found that sheep differentiated on the basis of their “retrotype” and morphological traits dispersed across Eurasia and Africa via separate migratory episodes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The goat domestication process inferred from large-scale mitochondrial DNA analysis of wild and domestic individuals

TL;DR: This study compared the genetic diversity of domestic goats to that of the modern representatives of their wild ancestor, the bezoar, by analyzing 473 samples collected over the whole distribution range of the latter species, and found no haplotype that could have been domesticated in the eastern half of the Iranian Plateau, nor further to the east.
Journal ArticleDOI
Are cattle, sheep, and goats endangered species?
Pierre Taberlet,Alessio Valentini,Hamid Reza Rezaei,Hamid Reza Rezaei,Saeid Naderi,Saeid Naderi,François Pompanon,Riccardo Negrini,Paolo Ajmone-Marsan +8 more
TL;DR: It is important to take measures that promote a sustainable management of genetic resources in cattle, sheep, and goats by in situ preservation of endangered breeds; by using selection programmes to restore the genetic diversity of industrial breeds; and finally, by protecting the wild relatives that might provide useful genetic resources.
