Whole-genome resequencing reveals world-wide ancestry and adaptive introgression events of domesticated cattle in East Asia
There are various indigenous cattle breeds in East Asia which have a complex history. Here, the authors analyse the genomes of 49 modern breeds and eight ancient samples and identify three distinct ancestries and multiple adaptive introgressions from other bovine species.
