The introduction of genotype II African swine fever (ASF) virus, presumably from Africa into
Georgia in 2007, and its continuous spread through Europe and Asia as a panzootic …

The domestication of animals led to a major shift in human subsistence patterns, from a
hunter–gatherer to a sedentary agricultural lifestyle, which ultimately resulted in the …

For 10,000 years pigs and humans have shared a close and complex relationship. From
domestication to modern breeding practices, humans have shaped the genomes of …

The domestication of plants and animals over the past 11,500 years has had a significant
effect not just on the domesticated taxa but also on human evolution and on the biosphere …

An animal model to study human infectious diseases should accurately reproduce the
various aspects of disease. Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) are closely related to …

Host-associated microbiomes play an increasingly appreciated role in animal metabolism,
immunity and health. The microbes in turn depend on their host for resources and can be …

We report the sequencing at 131× coverage, de novo assembly and analyses of the genome
of a female Tibetan wild boar. We also resequenced the whole genomes of 30 Tibetan wild …

Domestication of wild boar (Sus scrofa) and subsequent selection have resulted in dramatic
phenotypic changes in domestic pigs for a number of traits, including behavior, body …

Domestic pigs have evolved genetic adaptations to their local environmental conditions,
such as cold and hot climates. We sequenced the genomes of 69 pigs from 15 …

The emerging picture of plant and animal domestication and agricultural origins in the Near
East is dramatically different from that drawn 16 years ago in a landmark article by Bar-Yosef …
