… & Bradley, DG Microsatellite DNA variation and the evolution, domestication and
phylogeography of taurine and zebu cattle (Bos taurus and Bos indicus). Genetics 146, 1071–1086 (…

Domestication, a process of increasing mutual dependence between human societies and
the plant and animal populations they target, has long been an area of interest in genetics …

Milk from domestic cows has been a valuable food source for over 8,000 years, especially in
lactose-tolerant human societies that exploit dairy breeds. We studied geographic patterns …

To understand the biology and evolution of ruminants, the cattle genome was sequenced to
about sevenfold coverage. The cattle genome contains a minimum of 22,000 genes, with a …

The origin and taxonomic status of domesticated cattle are controversial. Zebu and taurine
breeds are differentiated primarily by the presence or absence of a hump and have been …

The imprints of domestication and breed development on the genomes of livestock likely differ
from those of companion animals. A deep draft sequence assembly of shotgun reads from …

The limited ranges of the wild progenitors of many of the primary European domestic
species point to their origins further east in Anatolia or the fertile crescent 1 , 2 . The wild ox (Bos …

The nature of domestic cattle origins in Africa are unclear as archaeological data are relatively
sparse. The earliest domesticates were humpless, or Bos taurus, in morphology and may …

… Africa may represent an unusual pattern of malemediated introgression ( BRADLEY et aZ.
1994; LOETUS et al. 1994a; BRADLEY et al. 1996). Taurine populations predominate only in …

We recently reported two common filaggrin (FLG) null mutations that cause ichthyosis vulgaris
1 and predispose to eczema and secondary allergic diseases 2 . We show here that these …
