Revisiting the origins of modern horses The domestication was very important in history humankind. However, ancestry and location timing their emergence remain unclear. Gaunitz et al. generated 42 ancient-horse genomes. Their source samples included Botai archaeological site Central Asia, considered to include earliest domesticated horses. Unexpectedly, were ancestors not domestic horses, but rather Przewalski's Thus, contrast current thinking on horse domestication, may have been other,...
Near Eastern genomes from Iran The genetic composition of populations in Europe changed during the Neolithic transition hunting and gathering to farming. To better understand origin modern populations, Broushaki et al. sequenced ancient DNA four individuals Zagros region present-day Iran, representing early Fertile Crescent. These unexpectedly were not ancestral European farmers, their structures did contribute significantly those Europeans. data indicate that a parallel probably resulted...
Horse domestication revolutionized warfare and accelerated travel, trade, the geographic expansion of languages. Here, we present largest DNA time series for a non-human organism to date, including genome-scale data from 149 ancient animals 129 genomes (≥1-fold coverage), 87 which are new. This extensive dataset allows us assess modern legacy past equestrian civilizations. We find that two extinct horse lineages existed during early domestication, one at far western (Iberia) other eastern...
How humans got their goats Little is known regarding the location and mode of early domestication animals such as for husbandry. To investigate history goat, Daly et al. sequenced mitochondrial nuclear sequences from ancient specimens ranging hundreds to thousands years in age. Multiple wild populations contributed origin modern during Neolithic. Over time, one type spread became dominant worldwide. However, at whole-genome level, goat are a mix different sources provide evidence multilocus...
How cow genomes have moo-ved Cattle were domesticated ∼10,000 years ago, but analysis of modern breeds has not elucidated their origins. Verdugo et al. performed genome-wide 67 ancient Near Eastern Bos taurus DNA samples. Several populations aurochs progenitors domestic cows. These genetic lineages mixed ∼4000 ago in a region around the Indus Valley. Interestingly, mitochondrial indicated that material likely derived from arid-adapted indicus (zebu) bulls was introduced by introgression....
The origins and prehistory of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are incompletely understood; to address this, we generated data from 118 ancient genomes spanning 12,000 years sampled across Eurasia. Genomes Central Türkiye ~8000 BCE genetically proximal the but do not fully explain ancestry later populations, suggesting a mosaic wild ancestries. Genomic signatures indicate selection by herders for pigmentation patterns, hornedness, growth rate. Although first European flocks derive Türkiye, in...
The Aceramic Neolithic (∼9600 to 7000 cal BC) period in the Zagros Mountains, western Iran, provides some of earliest archaeological evidence goat (Capra hircus) management and husbandry by circa 8200 BC, with detectable morphological change appearing ∼1,000 y later. To examine genomic imprint initial its implications for domestication process, we analyzed 14 novel nuclear genomes (mean coverage 1.13X) 32 mitochondrial (mtDNA) 143X) from two such sites, Ganj Dareh Tepe Abdul Hosein. These...
Donkeys transformed human history as essential beasts of burden for long-distance movement, especially across semi-arid and upland environments. They remain insufficiently studied despite globally expanding providing key support to low- middle-income communities. To elucidate their domestication history, we constructed a comprehensive genome panel 207 modern 31 ancient donkeys, well 15 wild equids. We found strong phylogeographic structure in donkeys that supports single Africa ~5000 BCE,...
The pronounced growth in livestock populations since the 1950s has altered epidemiological and evolutionary trajectory of their associated pathogens. For example, Marek's disease virus (MDV), which causes lymphoid tumors chickens, experienced a marked increase virulence over past century. Today, MDV infections kill >90% unvaccinated birds, controlling it costs more than US$1 billion annually. By sequencing genomes derived from archeological we demonstrate that been circulating for at least...
Mummified remains have long attracted interest as a potential source of ancient DNA. However, mummification is rare process that requires an anhydrous environment to rapidly dehydrate and preserve tissue before complete decomposition occurs. We present the whole-genome sequences (3.94 X) approximately 1600-year-old naturally mummified sheep recovered from Chehrābād, salt mine in northwestern Iran. Comparative analyses published revealed remarkable DNA integrity this mummy. Hallmarks...
Abstract The extremely rich palaeontological record of the horse family, also known as equids, has provided many examples macroevolutionary change over last ~55 Mya. This family is one most documented at palaeogenomic level, with hundreds ancient genomes sequenced. While these data have advanced understanding domestication history horses and donkeys, other equids remains limited. In this study, we generated genome‐wide for 25 equid specimens spanning 44 Ky spread across Anatolia, Caucasus,...

Abstract The modest aim of this short article is to provide some new results for a screw dislocation in functionally graded material within the theory gradient elasticity. These results, based on displacement formulation and Fourier transform technique, complete earlier findings obtained with stress function method extends them case second strain Rigorous easy-to-use analytical expressions displacements, strains, stresses are obtained, which free from singularities at line.

Abstract Equids have shaped past Eurasian societies in many ways. This applies particular to domestic horses, donkeys, and their hybrids. Key documenting modes of exploitation cultural trajectories is the correct taxonomic classification tooth bone specimens found archaeological sites. However, close osteomorphological resemblance wild equids economically valuable hybrids, that is, mules hinnies, complicates identification intentionally fragmented or naturally damaged specimens. Here, we...
