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 …

The world demand for animal-based food products is anticipated to increase by 70% by
2050. Meeting this demand in a way that has a minimal impact on the environment will …

Despite the substantial role that chickens have played in human societies across the world,
both the geographic and temporal origins of their domestication remain controversial. To …

Understanding the genetic changes underlying phenotypic variation in sheep (Ovis aries)
may facilitate our efforts towards further improvement. Here, we report the deep …

The domestication of plants and animals is a key transition in human history, and its
profound and continuing impacts are the focus of a broad range of transdisciplinary research …

The evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic
architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Arrhythmias are common and contribute substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality. The underlying pathophysiology of arrhythmias is complex and remains …

Snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) maintain seasonal camouflage by molting to a white
winter coat, but some hares remain brown during the winter in regions with low snow cover …

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 …
