Convergent and divergent genetic changes in the genome of Chinese and European pigs

Convergent and divergent genetic changes in the genome of Chinese and European pigs

Abstract Since 10,000 BC, continuous human selection has led to intense genetic and phenotypic changes in pig (Sus scrofa) domestication. Through whole genome analysis of 257 individuals, we demonstrated artificial unidirectional and bidirectional selection as the primary force to shape the converge...
