Analysis of ancient and modern horse genomes reveals the critical impact of lncRNA-mediated epigenetic regulation on horse domestication

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Background: The domestication of horses has played critical roles in human civilizations. The excavation of ancient horse DNA provides crucial data for studying horse domestication.

Genome-Wide Footprints of Pig Domestication and Selection Revealed through Massive Parallel Sequencing of Pooled DNA [PDF]

, 2011
Background Artificial selection has caused rapid evolution in domesticated species. The identification of selection footprints across domesticated genomes can contribute to uncover the genetic basis of phenotypic diversity.

Unraveling Origin, History, Genetics, and Strategies for Accelerated Domestication and Diversification of Food Legumes

Frontiers in Genetics, 2022
Domestication is a dynamic and ongoing process of transforming wild species into cultivated species by selecting desirable agricultural plant features to meet human needs such as taste, yield, storage, and cultivation practices. Human plant domestication

Animal interface: the generosity of domestication [PDF]

, 2007
The chapter engages with historical processes and contemporary conditions of animal domestication, arguing that domestication might best be seen as at least as much an emotive or affective process as an instrumental one.

Differences in dogs’ and wolves’ human-directed greeting behaviour: facial expressions, body language, and the problem of human biases

Animal Cognition
Dogs and wolves communicate effectively with humans, yet differences in their human-directed facial expressions and the role of relationship strength in shaping these behaviours remain poorly understood.

An integrated closed system for fish-plankton aquaculture in Amazonian fresh water

Animal, 2014
A prototype of an integrated closed system for fish-plankton aquaculture was developed in Iquitos (Peruvian Amazonia) in order to cultivate the Tiger Catfish, Pseudoplatystoma punctifer (Castelnau, 1855). This freshwater recirculating system consisted of

From Crop Domestication to Super-domestication [PDF]

Annals of Botany, 2007
Research related to crop domestication has been transformed by technologies and discoveries in the genome sciences as well as information-related sciences that are providing new tools for bioinformatics and systems' biology. Rapid progress in archaeobotany and ethnobotany are also contributing new knowledge to understanding crop domestication.

The practices of yam domestication in Benin and Nigeria [PDF]

, 2008
Guinea yams (Dioscorea cayenensis Lam. D. rotundata Poir) have been described several times as resulting from a process of domestication of wild yams of the Enantiophyllum section, initially by Burkill (1939) and by Miege (1952) and later, on a more ...
