TL;DR: Signs of selection including genes and/or pathways controlling anemia and feeding behavior in the trypanotolerant N’Dama, coat color and horn development in Ankole, and heat tolerance and tick resistance across African cattle especially in zebu breeds are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Whole genome scan reveals the genetic signature of African Ankole cattle breed and potential for higher quality beef

TL;DR: Meat quality related gene regions that are positively selected in Ankole (Sanga) cattle breeds as compared to indicus (Boran, Ogaden, and Kenana) breeds are identified using cross-population (XP-EHH and XP-CLR) statistical methods.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mosaic genome of indigenous African cattle as a unique genetic resource for African pastoralism

TL;DR: It is indicated that a combination of past taurine and recent indicine admixture-derived genetic resources is at the root of the present success of African pastoralism.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genes identified from this study provide an insight into the biological mechanisms and pathways that are important in cattle breeds selected for different traits of economic significance.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The positive selection signature of genes in African cattle breeds which contribute for their heat tolerance mechanisms are reported, and several genes and pathways were found to be involved in oxidative stress response, osmotic Stress response, heat shock response, hair and skin properties, sweat gland development and sweating, feed intake and metabolism, and reproduction functions.
