Convergent Genomic Signatures of Cashmere Traits: Evidence for Natural and Artificial Selection [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023 Convergent evolution provides powerful opportunities to investigate the genetic basis of complex traits. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) and Siberian ibex (Capra sibirica) belong to different subfamilies in Bovidae, but both have evolved similar superfine cashmere characteristics to meet the cold temperature in plateau environments.
