Y chromosome variants in cattle Bos taurus and Bos indicus [PDF]
Summary It is shown that comparison of the size of the Y chromosome between individuals may be made as reliably by computation of measurement relative to the X chromosome as by proportionation relative to the genome in the cell. By either method agreement was found with previous studies : first in placing the Y in the size range, for the cattle ...

Complete mitochondrial genomes of Bos taurus and Bos indicus provide new insights into intraspecies variation taxonomy and domestication [PDF]
The taurine and zebuine cattle breeds comprise the majority of the world cattle population but their taxonomic status is still controversial. The two forms of cattle are currently classified as Bos taurus and Bos indicus species and are differentiated ...

Bos taurus haplotypes segregating in Nellore (Bos indicus) cattle
SummaryBrazil is the largest exporter of beef in the world, and most of that beef derives from Nellore cattle. Although considered a zebu breed (Bos indicus), the history of Nellore cattle in Brazil is marked by the importation of bulls from India, the use of a Creole taurine (Bos taurus) maternal lineage to quickly expand the herds and backcrossing to

Cattle phenotypes can disguise their maternal ancestry
Background Cattle are bred for, amongst other factors, specific traits, including parasite resistance and adaptation to climate. However, the influence and inheritance of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are not usually considered in breeding programmes.
