Genome-Wide Specific Selection in Three Domestic Sheep Breeds
PLoS ONE, 2015 Background Commercial sheep raised for mutton grow faster than traditional Chinese sheep breeds. Here, we aimed to evaluate genetic selection among three different types of sheep breed: two well-known commercial mutton breeds and one indigenous Chinese ...

Broad maternal geographic origin of domestic sheep in Anatolia and the Zagros.
Animal Genetics, 2022 We investigated the controversial origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries) using large samples of contemporary and ancient domestic individuals and their closest wild relatives: the Asiatic mouflon (Ovis gmelini), the urial (Ovis vignei) and the argali ...
