Genome sequencing of the extinct eurasian wild aurochs, bos primigenius, illuminates the phylogeography and evolution of cattle
(Springer Nature, 2015-10-26)Background: Domestication of the now-extinct wild aurochs, Bos primigenius, gave rise to the two major domestic extant cattle taxa, B. taurus and B. indicus. While previous genetic studies have shed some light on the ... -
Genome-wide microrna binding site variation between extinct wild aurochs and modern cattle identifies candidate microrna-regulated domestication genes
(Frontiers Media SA, 2017-01-31)The domestication of cattle from the now-extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) involved selection for physiological and behavioral traits, with underlying genetic factors that remain largely unknown. Non coding microRNAs ...
