Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) Diversity of the Reintroduction Populations of Endangered Przewalski's Horse. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2022

Ancient genomes revisit the ancestry of domestic and Przewalski’s horses

, 2018
The Eneolithic Botai culture of the Central Asian steppes provides the earliest archaeological evidence for horse husbandry, ~5,500 ya, but the exact nature of early horse domestication remains controversial.
