Identification of Ancestry Informative Marker (AIM) Panels to Assess Hybridisation between Feral and Domestic Sheep. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2020 Hybridisation of wild populations with their domestic counterparts can lead to the loss of wildtype genetic integrity, outbreeding depression, and loss of adaptive features.

Seed dispersal dynamics in northern Iran: a comparative analysis of native large mammals and domestic sheep. [PDF]
BMC Ecol EvolBackground Seed dispersal through endozoochory plays a fundamental role in maintaining plant population dynamics, genetic connectivity, and habitat resilience, particularly in mountainous biodiversity hotspots.

Genomic signatures of adaptive introgression from European mouflon into domestic sheep. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2017 Mouflon (Ovis aries musimon) became extinct from mainland Europe after the Neolithic, but remnant populations from the Mediterranean islands of Corsica and Sardinia have been used for reintroductions across Europe since the 19th-century.

Study of Signatures of Positive Selection and Gene Ontology in some Domestic and Wild Sheep Breeds in Iran [PDF]
پژوهشهای علوم دامی ایران, 2023 Introduction[1]: Over the years, animals have been exposed to various factors such as natural selection, genetic drift, and multiple mutations, so such factors have caused changes between and within species.

Linkage Disequilibrium in Domestic Sheep [PDF]
Genetics, 2002 Abstract The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the number of livestock QTL mapping studies. The next challenge awaiting livestock geneticists is to determine the actual genes responsible for variation of economically important traits.

Molecular Identification of Sarcocystis Species in Sheep from Lithuania
Animals, 2022 Data on the distribution of different Sarcocystis species in various muscles of sheep are scarce. In the present study, 190 diaphragm, oesophagus, and heart muscle samples of 69 sheep raised in Lithuania were examined for the presence of Sarcocystis spp.

Paternal Origins and Migratory Episodes of Domestic Sheep [PDF]
Current Biology, 2020 The domestication and subsequent global dispersal of livestock are crucial events in human history, but the migratory episodes during the history of livestock remain poorly documented [1-3]. Here, we first developed a set of 493 novel ovine SNPs of the male-specific region of Y chromosome (MSY) by genome mapping.
