Abstract Domestication of horses fundamentally transformed long-range mobility and warfare 1 . However, modern domesticated breeds do not descend from the earliest domestic horse lineage associated with archaeological evidence bridling, milking corralling 2–4 at Botai, Central Asia around 3500 bc 3 Other longstanding candidate regions for domestication, such as Iberia 5 Anatolia 6 , have also recently been challenged. Thus, genetic, geographic temporal origins remained unknown. Here we...
Abstract Horses revolutionized human history with fast mobility 1 . However, the timeline between their domestication and widespread integration as a means of transport remains contentious 2–4 Here we assemble collection 475 ancient horse genomes to assess period when these animals were first reshaped by agency in Eurasia. We find that reproductive control modern domestic lineage emerged around 2200 bce , through close-kin mating shortened generation times. Reproductive following severe...
Analyses of ancient DNA typically involve sequencing the surviving short oligonucleotides and aligning to genome assemblies from related, modern species. Here, we report that skin a female woolly mammoth (†Mammuthus primigenius) died 52,000 years ago retained its architecture. We use PaleoHi-C map chromatin contacts assemble genome, yielding 28 chromosome-length scaffolds. Chromosome territories, compartments, loops, Barr bodies, inactive X chromosome (Xi) superdomains persist. The active...
Abstract Native cattle breeds represent an important cultural heritage. They are a reservoir of genetic variation useful for properly responding to agriculture needs in the light ongoing climate changes. Evolutionary processes that occur response extreme environmental conditions could also be better understood using adapted local populations. Herein, different evolutionary histories world northernmost native from Russia were investigated. highlighted Kholmogory as typical taurine cattle,...
DNA hybridization-capture techniques allow researchers to focus their sequencing efforts on preselected genomic regions. This feature is especially useful when analysing ancient (aDNA) extracts, which are often dominated by exogenous environmental sources. Here, we assessed, for the first time, performance of hyRAD as an inexpensive and design-free alternative commercial capture protocols obtain authentic aDNA data from osseous remains. HyRAD relies double enzymatic restriction fresh...
The Mongolian horse is one of the most ancient and relatively unmanaged breeds. population history remains poorly understood due to a lack information on modern DNA. Here, we report nearly complete mitochondrial genome data obtained from five samples Khereksur Deer Stone culture (late 2nd 1st third millennium BC) specimen Xiongnu (1st century BC AD) using target enrichment high-throughput sequencing methods. Phylogenetic analysis involving ancient, historical, mitogenomes horses Mongolia...
A growing number of researchers studying horse domestication come to a conclusion that this process happened in multiple locations and involved wild maternal lines. The most promising approach address problem involves mitochondrial haplotype comparison domestic horses from various coupled with studies possible migration routes the ancient shepherds. Here, we sequenced complete genomes six burials Ukok plateau (Russia, Altai Mountains) dated 2.7 1.4 thousand years before present single late...
To date, a number of studies have been published on the phylogenetics woolly mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius), ranging from analyses parts mitochondrial genome to complete nuclear genomes. However, until recently nothing was known about genetic diversity in southern Siberia, Minusinsk Depression particular. Within framework this effort, libraries for high-throughput sequencing seven bone samples were obtained, two-round enrichment using biotinylated probes modern mtDNA Elephas maximus...
This study focuses on expanding knowledge about the genetic diversity of Altai horse native to Siberia. While studying modern horses from two regions, where were subjected less crossbreeding, we tested hypothesis, formulated basis morphological data, that is represented by populations (Eastern and Southern) Mongolian has a greater proximity Eastern horses. Bone samples ancient different cultures investigated clarify history this breed. As marker, chose hypervariable region I mitochondrial...
Over 40 years of ancient DNA research, both fragments and complete sequences mitogenomes nuclear genomes many ancient, medieval modern horses Altai adjacent territories have been studied. The mentioned region attracts attention because already extinct species (Equus lenensis, Equus ovodovi) as well wild domestic lived there. Modern native breeds this are reservoirs unique genetic diversity. obtained results expanded the boundaries distribution Botai Eneolithic culture confirmed origin Asia...
