The Y chromosome carries information about the demography of paternal lineages, and
thus, can prove invaluable for retracing both the evolutionary trajectory of wild animals and …

After the domestication of goats around 10,000 years before the present (BP), humans
transported goats far beyond the range of their wild ancestor, the bezoar goat. This brought …

Y chromosome markers can shed light on male-specific population dynamics but for many
species no such markers have been discovered and are available yet, despite the potential …

The ggoat (Capra hircus) is one of the oldest domesticated animal species, with
archaeological evidence indicating that its earliest domestication from the wild ancestor …

Reindeer, called caribou in North America, has a circumpolar distribution and all extant
populations belong to the same species (Rangifer tarandus). It has survived the Holocene …

Simple Summary A collection of native farm animal breeds can be considered as a gene
