Multi-omics revealed the long-term effect of ruminal keystone bacteria and the microbial metabolome on lactation performance in adult dairy goats

Microbiome, 2023
Background The increased growth rate of young animals can lead to higher lactation performance in adult goats; however, the effects of the ruminal microbiome on the growth of young goats, and the contribution of the early-life rumen microbiome to ...

Geographical contrasts of Y‐chromosomal haplogroups from wild and domestic goats reveal ancient migrations and recent introgressions

Molecular Ecology, 2022
By their paternal transmission, Y‐chromosomal haplotypes are sensitive markers of population history and male‐mediated introgression. Previous studies identified biallelic single‐nucleotide variants in the SRY, ZFY and DDX3Y genes, which in domestic ...

The origin of domestication genes in goats

Science Advances, 2020
Goat domestication selection mainly focused on immune and neural genes and involved both standing and introgressed variation. Goat domestication was critical for agriculture and civilization, but its underlying genetic changes and selection regimes ...

Low oxygen tension affects proliferation and senescence of caprine bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in in vitro culture condition

Indian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2023
The culture system of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bmMSCs) in the normoxic environment does not imitate the hypoxic milieu of typical biological conditions, thus hypoxic culture conditions may improve survival, and growth attributes of bmMSCs ...

Convergent genomic signatures of domestication in sheep and goats

Nature Communications, 2018
The evolutionary basis of domestication has been a longstanding question and its genetic architecture is becoming more tractable as more domestic species become genome-enabled.
