The phenotypic diversity of African cattle reflects adaptation to a wide range agroecological conditions, human-mediated selection preferences, and complex patterns admixture between the humpless Bos taurus (taurine) humped indicus (zebu) subspecies, which diverged 150-500 thousand years ago. Despite extensive admixture, all possess taurine mitochondrial haplotypes, even populations with significant zebu biparental male uniparental nuclear ancestry. This has been interpreted as result...
Indigenous chickens at the Swahili coast and other traditional migratory corridors in Kenya represent important populations that are inconclusively characterized. Using a comprehensive dataset of Kenyan indigenous additional mined data from 8 African 5 Asian countries, we performed univariate multivariate assessments to uncover underlying phenotypic morphometric variability. expressed differentiation several qualitative quantitative traits, both among different counties coast, coastal,...
Guenons (tribe Cercopithecini) are the most widely distributed nonhuman primate in tropical forest belt of Africa and show considerable phenotypic, taxonomic, ecological diversity. However, genomic information for species within this group is still lacking. Here, we present a high-quality de novo genome (total 2.90 Gb, contig N50 equal to 22.7 Mb) mona monkey (Cercopithecus mona), together with resequencing data 13 individuals sampled across Nigeria. Our results showed differentiation...
Criollo cattle, the descendants of animals brought by Iberian colonists to Americas, have been subject natural and human-mediated selection in novel tropical agroecological zones for centuries. Consequently, these breeds evolved distinct characteristics such as resistance diseases exceptional heat tolerance. In addition European taurine (
Cattle are considered to be the most desirable livestock by small scale farmers. In Africa, although comprehensive genomic studies have been carried out on cattle, genetic variations in indigenous cattle from Nigeria not fully explored. this study, genome-wide analysis based genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS) of 193 Nigerian was used reveal new insights history West African and their adaptation tropical environment, particularly sub-Saharan region. RESULTS: The GBS data were evaluated against...
The African cattle provide unique genetic resources shaped up by both diverse tropical environmental conditions and human activities, the assessment of their diversity will shade light on mechanism remarkable adaptive capacities. We therefore analyzed samples from Nigeria using maternal paternal DNA markers. Nigerian can be assigned to 80 haplotypes based mitochondrial (mtDNA) D-loop sequences haplotype was 0.985 + 0.005. network showed two major matrilineal clustering: dominant cluster...

Abstract Bos taurus (taurine) and indicus (indicine) cattle diverged at least 150,000 years ago and, since that time, substantial genomic differences have evolved between the two lineages. During last millennia, genetic exchange in Africa has resulted a complex tapestry of taurine-indicine ancestry, with most populations exhibiting varying levels admixture. Similarly, there are several Southern European also show evidence for historical gene flow from indicine cattle, highest which found...

ABSTRACT Criollo cattle, descendants of animals brought by Iberian colonists to the Americas, have been subject centuries natural and human-mediated selection in novel tropical agroecological zones. Consequently, these breeds evolved distinct characteristics such as resistance disease exceptional heat tolerance. In addition European taurine ( Bos taurus ) ancestry, it has proposed that gene flow from African Asian indicine indicus cattle shaped ancestry cattle. this study, we analysed...
